Question
**Problem Statement:**

For a circuit with series and parallel resistors, the supply voltage \( V_{\text{Supply}} = 120 \) Volts and the resistors are given as follows: \( R_1 = 10 \Omega \), \( R_2 = 25 \Omega \), \( R_3 = 35 \Omega \), \( R_4 = 50 \Omega \), and \( R_5 = 70 \Omega \). What is the current for resistor \( R_4 \)?

**Circuit Diagram Description:**

The circuit includes a voltage source labeled \( V_s \) and five resistors labeled \( R_1 \), \( R_2 \), \( R_3 \), \( R_4 \), and \( R_5 \). 

- \( R_1 \), \( R_2 \), and \( R_3 \) appear to be connected in series, forming one branch of the circuit. 
- \( R_4 \) and \( R_5 \) are arranged in parallel with each other, forming another branch connected to the circuit at the same nodes as the series branch.

**Multiple Choice Options:**

- 1.2 Amp
- 2.4 Amp
- 0.8 Amp
- 1.6 Amp
