Question
**Circuit Diagram Analysis**

**Components and Connections:**

The image depicts an electrical circuit with multiple resistors and a current source. The circuit is composed of the following components:

- **Current Source:**
  - \( I_0 = 2.4 \, \text{A} \)

- **Resistors:**
  - \( R_1 = 4 \, \Omega \), connected between nodes \( b \) and \( c \).
  - \( R_2 = 3 \, \Omega \), connected between nodes \( a \) and \( d \).
  - \( R_3 = 8 \, \Omega \), connected between nodes \( b \) and \( e \).
  - \( R_4 = 2 \, \Omega \), connected between nodes \( c \) and \( f \).
  - \( R_5 = 6 \, \Omega \), connected between nodes \( d \) and \( e \).
  - \( R_6 = 5 \, \Omega \), connected between nodes \( e \) and \( f \).

**Nodes:**
The circuit consists of six nodes labeled \( a, b, c, d, e, \) and \( f \).

**Objective:**
The problem asks to find the current through the resistor \( R_1 \) connecting node \( b \) to node \( c \).

**Question:**
What is the current through the resistor connecting node \( b \) to node \( c \)? 

This question involves applying concepts of circuit analysis, such as Kirchhoff's laws, Ohm's law, and possibly methods like mesh or nodal analysis to solve for the desired current.
