How to find the current in the no resistor wire?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the current in a wire without a resistor, it's essential to first calculate the total resistance and current in the circuit, which has been done, yielding a total current of 0.1344A using the formula V=IR. However, to find the specific current in the no-resistor wire, a detailed analysis of the circuit configuration is necessary. Participants emphasize the importance of showing an attempt at solving the problem before receiving further assistance. This approach ensures that the discussion remains focused and constructive. Providing a clear step-by-step solution is crucial for effective help.

I can find the total resistance and then I found out the total current is 0.1344A by V=IR.
But I can't find the current in the no resistor wire I which the question need to find it.

Any and all assistance given to homework assignments or textbook style exercises should be given only after the questioner has shown some effort in solving the problem. If no attempt is made then the questioner should be asked to provide one before any assistance is given.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
