Question
**Problem Statement:**

Determine the total resistance of this circuit, given:
- \( E_T = 189 \, \text{V} \)
- \( R_1 = 12 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 82 \, \Omega \)

*(Round the FINAL answer to one decimal place.)*

**Circuit Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a simple series circuit containing:
- A voltage source labeled \( E_T \).
- Two resistors, \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \), connected in series.

**Calculation Notes:**

In a series circuit, the total resistance (\( R_T \)) is the sum of the individual resistances.

\[ R_T = R_1 + R_2 \]

Where:
- \( R_1 = 12 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 82 \, \Omega \)

Calculate \( R_T \) and round to one decimal place.
