Answer :
The magnitude of the current in wire 3 is (I₃)= 0.33A
How to calculate the value of the magnitude of the current in wire 3 ?
To calculate the magnitude of the current in wire 3 we are using the Kirchhoff’s current law,
I₁ + I₂ + I₃ = 0
Where we are given,
I₁ = current in wire 1
=0.40 A.
I₂ = current in wire 2
= -0.73 A.
We have to calculate the magnitude of the current in wire 3, I₃
Now we put the known values in above equation, we get,
I₁ + I₂ + I₃ = 0
Or, I₃ = -.(I₁ + I₂)
Or, I₃ = -.(0.40 - 0.73)
Or, I₃ = 0.33 A
From the above calculation, we can conclude that the current in wire 3 is I₃ = 0.33 A
