Expert Solution
Step 1 Analyzing the question

In the given circuit resistors R2 , R3 are in parallel and their combination is in series with R1. To calculate current through R3 we first need to calculate equivalent resistance and then net current supplied by battery. Let this current be i1 and current through R3 be i3. Thus we have:

R=R2R3R2+R3+R1=2.94×2.432.94+2.43+6.93=8.260 Ω

The current i1 is given as:

i1=V0R=5.678.26=0.6864 A
