Explanations & Calculations

• Two batteries (P & Q) could be connected in either way as show above.
• For the ease of understanding, it's allowed to represent the internal resistance of the battery, just outside it.
• And apply Kirchoff's voltage law in the shown direction.

1) To find "i_1" ,

"\\qquad\\qquad\n\\begin{aligned}\n\\small 8V-i_1\\times 2\\Omega-i_1\\times 4\\Omega-3V &= \\small 0\\\\\n\\small i_1 \\times 6\\Omega &= \\small 5V\\\\\n\\small i_1 &= \\small \\bold{0.833A}\n\\end{aligned}"

• 3V battery is being charged in this arrangement.

2) To find "i_2"

"\\qquad\\qquad\n\\begin{aligned}\n\\small 8V-i_2\\times2\\Omega -i_2 \\times 4\\Omega +3V &= \\small 0\\\\\n\\small i_2 \\times 6 \\Omega &= \\small 11V\\\\\n\\small i_2 &= \\small \\bold{1.833 A} \n\\end{aligned}"
