Please solve the attached image. I'm having an especially difficult time answering part d. Please make the answer legible--this is the second time I've submitted this question; the previous answer was typed in a continuous text that wasn't comprehensible. Thanks!

**Problem 3: Circuit Analysis** 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) **Circuit Diagram Explanation:** - **Voltage Source (Vs):** 24V - **Resistors:** - R1 = 8kΩ - R2 = 40kΩ - R3 = 10kΩ - R4 = 8kΩ **Circuit Description:** - The circuit consists of a series-parallel configuration. - R1 and R4 are in series with each other. - R2 and R3 are in parallel with each other. - This parallel combination (R2 and R3) is in series with R1 and R4. **Explanation:** 1. **Finding Total Resistance:** - Calculate the equivalent resistance of R2 and R3 in parallel. - Add the series resistances (R1, R4, and the equivalent resistance of R2 and R3). 2. **Finding Total Current:** - Use Ohm's Law (V = IR) to find the total current from the voltage source. 3. **Finding Total Power Dissipated:** - Calculate using the formula \( P = I^2 \times R \) for each resistor and sum up, or use \( P = V \times I \) for the entire circuit. 4. **Finding Current in R2:** - Use current division rule to find the current passing through the 40kΩ resistor (R2) in parallel with R3. This problem requires knowledge of Ohm's Law, series and parallel resistor calculations, and power calculation formulas.
