**Question 29**
In Figure 27-40, \( R_1 = 6.00 \, \Omega \), \( R_2 = 18.0 \, \Omega \), and the ideal battery has an electromotive force (emf) \( \mathcal{E} = 12.0 \, \text{V} \). What are the (a) size and (b) direction (left or right) of current \( i_1 \)? (c) How much energy is dissipated by all four resistors in 1.00 minute?
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram illustrates a circuit with an ideal battery of voltage \( \mathcal{E} \) and resistors connected as follows:
- The battery's positive terminal is connected to a resistor labeled \( R_1 \).
- The resistor \( R_1 \) is in series with another branch containing two resistors labeled \( R_2 \) that are in parallel.
- The current \( i_1 \) flows through the parallel combination of resistors \( R_2 \).
- Direction of conventional current is indicated by an arrow moving from the positive to the negative terminal of the battery.
