#6

**Chapter 17: PHYS 203: Fundamentals of Physics** **4. Calculate the current being drawn through the \( R_4 \) leg with the following circuit properties:** - \( V = 120 \, \text{V} \) - \( I_t = 20.0 \, \text{A} \) - \( R_1 = 8.0 \, \Omega \) - \( R_2 = 10.0 \, \Omega \) - \( R_3 = 10.0 \, \Omega \) - \( R_5 = 2.0 \, \Omega \) *Diagram Explanation*: The circuit includes a battery providing voltage \( V \) and five resistors (\( R_1, R_2, R_3, R_4, \) and \( R_5 \)). Resistors \( R_1 \) and \( R_5 \) are in series, while \( R_2, R_3, \) and \( R_4 \) are part of a parallel configuration within the circuit. --- **5. Calculate \( R_2 \) in the circuit with the given properties:** - \( I_1 = 3.0 \, \text{V} \) - \( I_2 = 2.0 \, \text{V} \) - \( R_1 = 24.0 \, \Omega \) - \( E_1 = 240.0 \, \text{V} \) *Diagram Explanation*: This circuit includes two voltage sources (\( E_1 \) and \( E_2 \)) and three resistors (\( R_1, R_2, \) and \( R_C \)). The resistors are arranged with \( R_1 \) in series with the other elements, while \( R_2 \) and \( R_C \) are within a parallel configuration with an additional voltage source. --- **6.
