Question
Two batteries and a resistor are connected as shown. \( \varepsilon_1 = 20 \, \text{V}, \, \varepsilon_2 = 8.0 \, \text{V}, \) and \( R = 2.0 \, \Omega. \) What is the current through the resistor, in Amperes?

Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows a circuit with two batteries and a resistor in series. Battery \( \varepsilon_1 \) (20 V) is at the top left, and battery \( \varepsilon_2 \) (8.0 V) is below it. The resistor is placed to the right of the batteries. Note the orientation of the batteries with positive and negative terminals properly marked.
