I was just reading about current divider in wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_divider
and applied the general formula mentioned there to this example http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_1/chpt_6/3.html
when I solve for Ir1 I get 5mA although the result in the textboox according to the general formula is 6 mA.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance
