Q2.

Draw a schematic diagram of a circuit consisting of a battery of three cells of $2\, V$ each,a $5\,\Omega$ resistor,an $8\,\Omega$ resistor,and a $12\,\Omega$ resistor,and a plug key,all connected in series. Include an ammeter to measure the current through the resistors and a voltmeter to measure the potential difference across the $12\,\Omega$ resistor. What would be the readings in the ammeter and the voltmeter?
