C. 16 V
D. 20 V

Answer :

Final answer:

The question is about a physics problem dealing with circuit behavior involving an inductor and a resistor with different battery voltages and implicates physics concepts like self-inductance and resistance.

Explanation:

The student's question is asking about the behavior of a circuit consisting of an inductor and a resistor when connected to different battery voltages. This is a physics problem that involves concepts such as self-inductance, resistance, and Ohm's Law. Without the time aspect or a change in current provided, it seems the question is incomplete or might be related to the initial current through the circuit just after connecting the batteries, which in case of an ideal inductance is instantaneously zero due to the inductor opposing a change in current. If the question pertains to the steady state current once the inductor's effect is fully realized (long after the battery is connected), then current would just be voltage divided by resistance, assuming the inductance has no effect at steady state (which is the case for a DC circuit).
