Question
**Consider the following figure:**

*A diagram of a circuit with resistors:*

- A 4.00 Ω resistor is positioned between points \(a\) and \(c\).
- A 7.00 Ω resistor is connected in series between points \(c\) and \(d\).
- A 9.00 Ω resistor is connected in series between points \(d\) and \(b\).
- An additional resistor \(R = 13.0 \, \Omega\) is connected between points \(c\) and \(d\), forming a parallel connection with the 7.00 Ω resistor.

---

(a) **Find the equivalent resistance between points \(a\) and \(b\) in the figure. \((R = 13.0 \, \Omega)\)**

\[ \text{Equivalent Resistance:} \quad \_\_\_ \, \Omega \]

(b) **Calculate the current in each resistor if a potential difference of 52.0 V is applied between points \(a\) and \(b\).**

\[ I(4.00 \, \Omega) \quad = \quad \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \, A \]

\[ I(7.00 \, \Omega) \quad = \quad \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \, A \]

\[ I(13.0 \, \Omega) \quad = \quad \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \, A \]

\[ I(9.00 \, \Omega) \quad = \quad \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \, A \]
