What is the current through the voltage source?
Four resistors are connected to a battery as shown in the
figure. The current through the battery is I, the battery's
electromotive force (emf) is & = 4.85 V, and the resistor
values are R₁ = R, R₂ = 2R, R3 = 4R, and R4 = 3R. Find
the voltages across each resistor.
