Circuit schematic with four identical resistors connected to an ideal battery.
Four identical resistors, each with resistance \(R\), are connected to an ideal battery of electromotive force \(\mathcal{E}\), as shown in the circuit diagram. Resistor \(R_1\) is connected in series with a parallel combination consisting of resistor \(R_2\) in one branch and resistors \(R_3\) and \(R_4\) in series in the other branch. Which of the following correctly pairs the total electric power \(P_{\text{total}}\rangle\) dissipated by the circuit with the ranking of the individual powers \(P_1, P_2, P_3,\) and \(P_4\) dissipated by each resistor?
