+// Example1.4 An aluminium wire 7.5 m long is connected in a parallel with a copper wire 6 m long. When a current of 5A is passed through the combination, it is found that the current in the aluminium wire is 3 A. The diameter of the aluminium wire is 1 mm. Determine the diameter of the copper wire. Resistivity of copper is 0.017 micro-ohm-metre; that of the aluminium is 0.028 micro-ohm- metre.
+// 1 mm =10^-3m
+// 1 micro-ohm = 10^-6 ohm
+// let the numeral 1 represent aluminium and 2 represent copper.
+//Formulae: R=pl/a ; a=%pi*d^2/4
