Question
Current flowing through resistor R1?
**Problem Statement:**

*Determine the current flowing through resistor \( R_1 \), given:*

- \( E_T = 197 \, \text{V} \)
- \( R_1 = 20 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 24 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_3 = 25 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_4 = 11 \, \Omega \)

*(Round the FINAL answer to two decimal places.)*

**Circuit Diagram Explanation:**

- The diagram shows a circuit with a voltage source labeled \( E_T \) connected to a network of resistors.
- \( R_1 \) is in series with the parallel combination of \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \).
- \( R_4 \) is in series with the network formed by \( R_1 \) and the parallel resistors.
