Question

1.Equivalent resisitance through entire system

2.Current being drawn from battery

3.Current flowing through R2

4.Voltage drop across R2

5.Power dissipated by R2

For questions 1 through 6, assume the following values:

- \( V_b = 5 \) volts
- \( R_1 = 4 \) ohms
- \( R_2 = 8 \) ohms
- \( R_3 = 12 \) ohms
- \( R_4 = 16 \) ohms

### Circuit Diagram:

The diagram represents a simple electrical circuit with the following components:

1. A voltage source \( V_b \) of 5 volts.
2. Three resistors connected in series: \( R_1 \), \( R_2 \), and \( R_3 \).
   - \( R_1 \) is labeled as 4 ohms.
   - \( R_2 \) is labeled as 8 ohms.
   - \( R_3 \) is labeled as 12 ohms.

The circuit is a series circuit, meaning the resistors and the voltage source are connected sequentially, forming a single loop for current to flow.
