ANSWER:

Step 1 of 6                                        

To determine the current  that is drawn from the battery, we must first find the equivalent resistance of the entire circuit. current through the battery can be used to find the potential drop across the internal resistance  and hence the potential across the terminals of the battery by using Ohm’s Law.

We can find the
