Question

What is the current of R2?

 

This image contains a circuit diagram illustrating several electrical components connected in a specific configuration. Below is a detailed transcription and description of the diagram:

### Diagram Description:

- **Power Supply**:
  - There is a 12-volt (12V) power source represented by the typical symbol for a battery on the top side of the circuit.
  
- **Resistors**:
  - There are four resistors in this circuit, each labeled with their resistance values:
    - A 100-ohm (100Ω) resistor is connected in series with the power source.
    - A 50-ohm (50Ω) resistor is connected in parallel with the 100Ω resistor.
    - A 75-ohm (75Ω) resistor is positioned parallel to the 50Ω resistor.
    - A 15-ohm (15Ω) resistor is connected diagonally, creating a bridge in the circuit.

### Circuit Configuration:

The circuit begins with a 12V battery, supplying voltage to a series of resistors arranged in a bridge network. The 100Ω resistor is connected directly to the battery, leading to a junction where the 50Ω and 75Ω resistors split into separate parallel paths. The 15Ω resistor bridges these two paths, forming a complex circuit which can be used for various analyses, such as calculating equivalent resistance or testing the effects of different configurations in electrical circuits. 

This setup is useful for educational purposes to explain concepts such as series and parallel resistances, voltage distribution, and current flow within a circuit.
