Question
The circuit diagram consists of a complex circuit with multiple resistors and an EMF source. The resistors are labeled and have the following values:

- \(R_1 = 4.00 \, \Omega\)
- \(R_2 = 3.00 \, \Omega\)
- Resistor in parallel: \(10.0 \, \Omega\) and \(5.00 \, \Omega\)
- Another series resistor of \(2.00 \, \Omega\)

The EMF source (\(\mathcal{E}\)) has a voltage of \(10.0 \, \text{V}\).

The circuit topology is as follows:

1. A \(2.00 \, \Omega\) resistor is in series with the entire circuit.
2. Parallel to the main branch is a segment containing the \(10.0 \, \Omega\) and \(5.00 \, \Omega\) resistors.
3. The \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) resistors are in series with the parallel segment and the \(2.00 \, \Omega\) resistor.

**Questions:**

(a) Find the voltage across \(R_1\).

- Box provided for the answer in volts.

(b) Find the current in \(R_1\).

- Box provided for the answer in amperes.
