    A battery with V = 2.27 V is connected to three resistors as shown in the figure, where R1 = 1.61 Ω, R2 = 4.71 Ω, and R3 = 5.07 Ω.

    a) Find the potential drop across resistor 2.


    b) Find the current in resistor 3.

    Is there a figure to accompany this?
    Do we see your attempt at the solution? If it is just 3 resistors in series, then how much current is flowing through them?
