$A$ circular coil of total resistance $40 \Omega$ has two points '$P$' and '$Q$' on its circumference. The arc length between '$P$' and '$Q$' is such that the coil is divided into two parts with resistances $30 \Omega$ and $10 \Omega$. These points are connected to a $16 \text{ V}$ battery with an internal resistance of $0.5 \Omega$. What is the value of the current '$I$' flowing through the circuit (in $\text{ A}$)?
