Suppose there is a circuit consisting of only resistances

Question:

Suppose there is a circuit consisting of only resistances and batteries and we have to double all voltages and all resistances. Show that currents are unaltered.

Solution:

Reff is the equivalent internal resistance of the battery

Veff is the equivalent voltage of the battery

Using Ohm’s law,

I = Veff/(Reff + R)

When the resistance and effective voltage are increased by n-times,

Veff = nVeff

Reff = n Reff

Rnew = nR

Then current is given as

I’ = bVeff/nReff + nR = Veff/Reff + R = I
