SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the current (I) in a circuit using the reciprocity theorem. The initial calculation provided for total current (IT) is 2.14 mA, derived from the equation IT = 10/[4k||8k+4k||4k]. Participants suggest re-drawing the circuit to better visualize the voltage at the shorting midpoint wire, which is essential for determining the current in various branches of the circuit. This approach emphasizes the importance of circuit analysis techniques in solving electrical engineering problems.

bibo_dvd said:hello guys
the question is :
in (a)
IT= 10/[4k||8k+4k||4k]=2.14 mA
but i can't calculate I so please guys help me i tried many times to get it but i couldn't :(
thx guys !
I'm not following the equation you wrote for IT (I assume that is the I in the first figure?).
Try re-drawing the circuit, and calculate the voltage of the shorting midpoint wire. Given that voltage, you can calculate the currents in the different legs of the circuit, which will give you I.
