Part 8.1: Circuit Analysis

Assumptions based on the circuit diagram and problem statement:

• The $4 \Omega$ resistor is in series with the $3 \Omega$ resistor. Let's call this the "left branch".
• The unknown resistor $R$ is in parallel with the left branch. Let's call this the "right branch".
• Switch $S_1$ is in series with the $3 \Omega$ resistor.
• Switch $S_2$ is in series with resistor $R$.
• The ammeter (A) measures the total current from the battery.
• The battery voltage is $V_{
