**Problem-1**: Determine the current \( I_4 \) and the voltage \( V_2 \) for the network of the figure.

### Circuit Description:
- A 12V voltage source is connected to a network of resistors.
- Resistor \( R_1 = 4 \, \Omega \), \( R_2 = 3 \, \Omega \), \( R_3 = 6 \, \Omega \), and \( R_4 = 8 \, \Omega \).
- \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \) are in parallel with each other.
- The combination of \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \) in parallel is in series with \( R_1 \).
- The series combination of \( R_1 \), \( R_2 \), and \( R_3 \) is in turn in series with \( R_4 \), through which the current \( I_4 \) flows downward.

### Objective:
- Determine the current \( I_4 \) that flows through \( R_4 \).
- Determine the voltage \( V_2 \) across the parallel combination of \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \).
