Question
### Electrical Circuit Analysis

A schematic diagram of an electrical circuit is shown, consisting of three resistors and one voltage source (battery). You are required to calculate the current in amps through \( R_2 \).

#### Given Values:
- Voltage \( V = 16 \, \text{V} \)
- Resistance \( R_1 = 125 \, \Omega \)
- Resistance \( R_2 = 70 \, \Omega \)
- Resistance \( R_3 = 70 \, \Omega \)

#### Circuit Diagram:
The diagram displays a circuit with a voltage source \( V \) connected in series with resistor \( R_1 \) and in parallel with resistors \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \). The arrangement is such that \( R_2 \) and \( R_3 \) form a parallel connection, and this combination is in series with \( R_1 \).

#### Task:
Calculate the current passing through \( R_2 \) in amps.

#### Input:
Provide your numeric answer only. Do not include any units or symbols. For example, if the answer is 1.85, simply type "1.85".

\[ \text{Type your answer:} \] *[Answer box]*

*[Note: The diagram shows the voltage source and resistors in their respective series and parallel configurations. Ensure you understand the concepts of resistors in series and parallel to solve this problem.]*
