The magnitudes of the current density and the diameters for wires 1 and 2 are given in the table. The current directions are indicated by the arrows. (Figure_1)
Wire 1
Diameter (mm) 2.1
Current (A/mm) 3.4
Wire 2
Diameter (mm) 3.3
Current (A/mm) 4.1
Find the current in wire 3. Express your answer in figures. Call current out of the junction positive and current into the junction negative.
