Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Two resistance , R1 and R2 are connected in series across a 12-V battery.

The current increases by 0.18 A when R2 is removed leaving R1 connected across the battery.

The current increases by 0.055 A when R1 is removed leaving R2 connected.

Equivalent of R1 and R2 connected in series is equals to R1+R2.

We know that current = voltageResistance

Let 12 VR1+R2 = i
