### Circuit Analysis Problem

**Problem Statement:**

For the circuit shown below, calculate:
a. The total resistance
b. The total current
c. The total power dissipated in all resistors
d. The current in the 40kΩ resistor (R₂)

**Given Circuit Details:**

- A 24V voltage source (Vs).
- Four resistors in the circuit:
  - R₁ = 8kΩ 
  - R₂ = 40kΩ (in parallel)
  - R₃ = 10kΩ (in parallel with R₂)
  - R₄ = 8kΩ 

**Diagram Description:**

- The voltage source (Vs) of 24V is connected in series with resistors R1 and R4.
- Resistors R2 and R3 are connected in parallel.
- The total current flowing from the voltage source is denoted as Iₜ.

**Calculation Instructions:**

1. **Total Resistance (Rₜ):**
   - First, calculate the equivalent resistance of the parallel resistors (R2 and R3).
   - Then, add this equivalent resistance to the series resistors (R1 and R4).

2. **Total Current (Iₜ):**
   - Use Ohm's law (V = IR) to determine the total current using the total resistance calculated.

3. **Total Power Dissipation:**
   - Calculate the power for each resistor using P = I²R or P = V²/R and sum them up for total power dissipation.

4. **Current in 40kΩ Resistor (R₂):**
   - Use the voltage across the parallel combination of R2 and R3 to find the current through R2 using Ohm's law.
