Transcribed Image Text:### Resistor Network Connected to a Battery
In the given circuit, several resistors are connected to a battery. The diagram illustrates the arrangement and values of these resistors:
- **Resistor \( R_1 \)** is in series with the battery, and its resistance is \( R \).
- The battery provides an electromotive force (EMF) denoted by \( \varepsilon \) and a current \( I \) flows through the circuit.
- In parallel to \( R_1 \), there is a branch consisting of three resistors:
- **Resistor \( R_2 \)** with a resistance of \( 2R \)
- **Resistor \( R_3 \)** with a resistance of \( 4R \)
- **Resistor \( R_4 \)** with a resistance of \( 3R \)
**Problem Statement:**
(a) Determine the potential difference across each resistor.
This circuit provides a practical application for analyzing series and parallel resistor combinations, calculating equivalent resistance, and understanding the distribution of current and voltage in an electrical network.
