### Circuit Analysis: Determining Current Through Resistors

Below are four different electrical circuit diagrams. For each circuit, we'll determine the current through each resistor.

#### Diagram (a)
- **Components:**
  - Resistor R1: 50 Ω
  - Resistor R2: 70 Ω
  - Battery BAT1: 9 V
- **Configuration:** Series circuit with R1 and R2 connected in series with BAT1. 

#### Diagram (b)
- **Components:**
  - Resistor R1: 50 Ω
  - Resistor R2: 70 Ω
  - Resistor R3: 100 Ω
  - Battery BAT1: 12 V
- **Configuration:** Series circuit with R1, R2, and R3 connected in series with BAT1.

#### Diagram (c)
- **Components:**
  - Resistor R1: 50 Ω
  - Resistor R2: 70 Ω
  - Resistor R3: 100 Ω
  - Batteries: BAT1 (12 V) and BAT2 (17 V) in series
- **Configuration:** Series circuit with R1, R2, R3. The total voltage is the sum of BAT1 and BAT2 (29 V).

#### Diagram (d)
- **Components:**
  - Resistor R1: 50 Ω
  - Resistor R2: 70 Ω
  - Resistor R3: 100 Ω
  - Batteries: BAT1 (12 V) and BAT2 (17 V) in series
- **Configuration:** Series circuit with R1, R2, and R3. The total voltage from BAT1 and BAT2 is 29 V.

### Analyzing the Circuits

In all diagrams, the resistors are connected in series. The total current (I) through each resistor can be calculated using Ohm's Law: 
\[ I = \frac{V}{R_{\text{total}}} \]
Where:
- \( V \) is the total voltage supplied by the battery (or batteries).
- \( R_{\text{total}} \) is the sum of the resistances in the circuit.

For calculation:
- **Diagram (a):** \( R_{\text{total}} = 50 \, \Omega + 70 \, \Omega = 120 \, \Omega \)
- **Diagram (b):
