Question
![**Problem Statement:**
Consider the following. (Take \(R_1 = 10.1 \, \Omega\), \(R_2 = 8.4 \, \Omega\), and \(R_3 = 4.4 \, \Omega\).)
**Circuit Diagram:**
There is a circuit between two points, \(a\) and \(b\), with resistors arranged as follows:
- \(R_1\) is in series with the point \(b\).
- Between point \(a\) and the connection point with both \(R_2\) and a 1.0 \( \Omega \) resistor, there is a parallel connection.
- The 1.0 \( \Omega \) resistor is connected in series with a 3.0 \( \Omega \) resistor and a 2.0 \( \Omega \) resistor.
- \(R_2\) and \(R_3\) form connections in this parallel arrangement.
**Questions:**
(a) Find the equivalent resistance between points \(a\) and \(b\) in the figure below.
- [Answer box]
(b) Find the potential difference \(V_{ab}\) that will produce a current of 1.0 A in the 2.0 \( \Omega \) resistor.
- [Answer box]
**Detailed Explanation for Diagram:**
The given circuit sketch shows a combination of series and parallel resistors:
1. \(R_1 = 10.1 \, \Omega\) is series with point \(b\).
2. There is a junction where \(R_2 = 8.4 \, \Omega\) is connected directly in parallel with a series of three resistors: 1 \( \Omega \), 3 \( \Omega \), and 2 \( \Omega \) which form a path between points \(a\) and \(b\).
3. \(R_3 = 4.4 \, \Omega\) is part of a parallel circuit which includes \(R_2\).
The questions require solving for the equivalent resistance of this combination of resistors and determining the potential difference across the points \(a\) and \(b\) that results in a specified current through one of the resistors.
