Current? 
voltage across each load ? 

**Educational Content:**

**Task:** Determine the current and voltage across each load.

**Circuit Description:**

The circuit is powered by a 35V voltage source. It consists of four resistors arranged as follows:
- A 14Ω resistor and a 10Ω resistor are connected in series.
- A 12Ω resistor and an 18Ω resistor are connected in parallel to each other. This parallel combination is connected in series with the 14Ω and the 10Ω resistors.

To solve for the current and voltage across each load, follow these steps:

1. **Equivalent Resistance of Parallel Resistors:**
   - For the 12Ω and 18Ω resistors in parallel:
     \[
     \frac{1}{R_{\text{parallel}}} = \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{18}
     \]

2. **Total Resistance:**
   - Add the equivalent resistance of the parallel resistors to the series resistors (14Ω and 10Ω).

3. **Use Ohm's Law:**
   - Calculate the total current using \( V = I \times R \).
   - \( I = \frac{V}{R_{\text{total}}} \)

4. **Voltage Across Each Load:**
   - Calculate the voltage drop across each resistor using \( V = I \times R \).
   - For parallel resistors, use the same current to find individual voltages.

This method will help determine the current through and voltage across each resistor within the circuit.
