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.
