Question 474: Current Electricity

Question

A current of 6A enters one corner P of an equilateral triangle PQR having 3 wires of resistance 2$$\Omega$$ each and leaves by the corner R. The currents i1 in ampere is _________.

Accepted Answer

The current $${i_1} = \left( {{{{R_2}} \over {{R_1} + {R_2}}}} ight)i$$
$$ = \left( {{2 \over {4 + 2}}} ight) 	imes 6$$
$${i_1} = 2A$$
