An aluminum wire 7.5 meters long is connected in a parallel with a copper wire 6 meters long. When a current of 5 amperes is passed through the combination, it is found that the current in the aluminum wire is 3 amperes. The diameter of the aluminum wire is 1 millimeter. Determine the diameter of the copper wire. Resistivity of copper is 0.017 micro-ohm - meter; that of the aluminum is 0.028 micro-ohm - meter.
