A DC circuit consists of a 30.5 V battery connected in series to two components. The first component is a variable resistor set to 1.7 Ohms. The second component is a set of four fixed resistors connected in parallel. The first fixed resistor is 7.9 Ohms, the second fixed resistor is 6.5 Ohms, the third fixed resistor is 5.3 Ohms and the fourth fixed resistor is 7.9 Ohms. What is the total current supplied by the battery to the circuit? Use standard abbreviations for MKS units. Your Answer: Answer units
