You can put this solution on YOUR website!
initial current (c1) = 50 amps
final current = c2
initial resistance(R1)= 10 ohms
final resistance(R2) = 50 ohms
relation b/w current and resistance is inverse
hence
c1 x r1 = c2 xr2
50 *10 =c2*50
divide with 50 on both sides
50%2A10%2F50+=c2%2A50%2F50
10 =c2
current = 10 amps
