Four resistors are connected to a battery with a terminal voltage of $12$ V $,$ as shown in the figure below. $($Assume $R_1=32\mathrm{.}0$ and $R_2=76\mathrm{.}0.)$

$($i$)$

$($a$)$ How would you reduce the circuit to an equivalent single resistor connected to the battery? Use this procedure to find the equivalent resistance of the circuit.

Your response differs from the correct answer by more than $10\%.$ Double check your calculations. $$

$($b$)$ Find the current delivered by the battery to this equivalent resistance.

Your response differs from the correct answer by more than $100\%.$ A

$($c$)$ Determine the power delivered by the battery.

Your response differs from the correct answer by more than $100\%.$ W

$($d$)$ Determine the power delivered to the $50\mathrm{.}0-$ resistor.

Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. W
