Two resistors, 3 and 5 , are connected in series. The series combination of these resistors is connected in parallel with a third resistor of resistance 8 02. This parallel combination is then connected in series with a fourth resistor of 9 Q resistance. Calculate the total current in the circuit (in Amperes) if 200 V is applied across the combination of the four resistors. Round off to the nearest tenth digit.
