Three resistors R1 = 3, R2 = 6, and R3 = 4 are connected as shown in the sketch to a battery that has neglible internal resistance. The current through R2 is 2.00 A. I already found the current for R1 (4A) and the current for R3 (6A) I can't figure out part C of my question, what is the battery voltage V?
