Circuit Current

Electricity and Magnetism Level 1

The picture above depicts a $17\text V$ battery arranged into a circuit of five resistors ( $R$ ). In the circuit, $R_I = 5\Omega$ , $R_{II} = 7\Omega$ , $R_{III} = 4\Omega$ , $R_{IV} = 2\Omega$ , and $R_V = 3\Omega$ . Determine the current ( $I$ ) of the circuit.
