A circuit made up of 6 resistors is shown in the attached image, with resistances R₁ = 22 Ω, R₂ = 75 Ω, R₃ = 37 Ω, R₄ = 74 Ω, R₅ = 79 Ω and R₆ = 53 Ω. The total current going through the circuit is I = 4.5 A.

Express the equivalent resistance R of the combination of R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, R₅, and R₆, and use it to calculate the numerical resistance R in Ω.

Express the potential difference between a and b, ΔV, in terms of the total current I and the equivalent resistance of the entire circuit R. Then use this to calculate the numerical value of ΔV in V.
