Question 1197643: An electric current of 0.772mA passes into two wires in which it is divided into currents in the ratio of 2.83 to 1.09. What are the currents in the two wires?
I tried the method like this :0.772/e=2.83/1.09
Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1.09e = 2.83*.772 -2.83e
3.92e = 2.83*.772
e = 2.83*.772/3.92 = .557
The currents in the two wires are: .557 & .215 rounded
