In a DC circuit, a resistor \(R_{1}=10\ \Omega\) is connected in series with a parallel combination of resistors \(R_{2}\) and \(R_{3}\). When a \(12\ \text{V}\) source is applied across the whole circuit, the measured total current is \(0.5\ \text{A}\). It is also known that the power dissipated in \(R_{2}\) is half the power dissipated in \(R_{3}\). Determine the resistance of \(R_{2}\) (in \(\Omega\)).
