Question
Two resistors, \( R_1 = 3.53 \, \Omega \) and \( R_2 = 5.93 \, \Omega \), are connected in series to a battery with an EMF of 24.0 V and negligible internal resistance. Find the current \( I_1 \) through \( R_1 \) and the potential difference \( V_2 \) across \( R_2 \).

\[ I_1 = \square \, \text{A} \]

\[ V_2 = \square \, \text{V} \]

### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram on the right shows a simple electric circuit. It contains:

- A battery symbol (two parallel lines, one longer than the other) representing the EMF source of 24.0 V.
- Two resistors in series:
  - \( R_1 \) is represented by a zigzag line labeled \( R_1 \).
  - \( R_2 \) is another zigzag line labeled \( R_2 \), placed in series after \( R_1 \).

The flow of current is indicated in a closed loop starting from the positive terminal (longer line) of the battery, passing through \( R_1 \), followed by \( R_2 \), and finally returning to the negative terminal (shorter line) of the battery.
