Homework Statement
You are given two ideal batteries with ##\epsilon_1 = 1.5 V## and ##\epsilon_2 = 9.0 V##. You are also given three ##120 \Omega## resistors.You may use any or all of the components. Design a circuit where there is a current of ##21 \pm 1 mA## through at least one of the resistors.
Do NOT use EMF sources in parallel.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I've already tried several combinations of resistors and batteries with no avail. The closest I've been is when all three resistors are in series with the ##9.0 V## emf. Then the current across the whole circuit is ##25 mA##. I've also tried creating several multiloop circuits, but those haven't worked either.
Anyone have some design advice? It would be very appreciated.
EDIT: Never mind guys I got it, just place the resistors in series and then oppose the emfs. Then the current is ##\frac{9.0-1.5}{360} = 21 mA##.
