1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
The circuit is given as in the attachment. All resistors have known resistance and the inner resistance of the ammeter in known. The current which is measured by the ammeter is known. What is the current at the point T?
2. Relevant equations
Ohm's law: V=IR. Also at each junction, Iin=Iout.
3. The attempt at a solution
Let R0 be the resistance of the ammeter, I1 be the current at the point T, I2 be the current at resistor R2 and IA be the current at ammeter. It follows that IAR0=I2R2, from which I2 follows. Then I1=I2+I3.
That is what I think is true. But, given the values of resistances of all resistors which I didn't use in the calculation, I start to wonder if I miss something. Am I right or wrong?
