Given two batteries: one with voltage V and internal resistance r₁: another with also voltage V and internal resistance r2. Which of the following is true if we connect them in series facing the opposite direction? No voltage will remain, while the total internal resistance will be r₁ + 12. The total voltage will be -V, while the total internal resistance will be r₁ + 12. The total voltage will be -2V, while the total internal resistance will be r₁ + 12- The answer can be found on the other choices.
