aashu_79 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 imo A phrase "an observation about electric current first made in 1845 and now included in virtually every textbook of elementary physics." is correctly modifying "one of the Kirchoff's Laws" B - which does not have clear reference. also "it is" should not be there. C - "it is" after namely is akward D - "it" does not have a clear reference. E - looks like "that" refers to laws, however the verb is singular. Also "first made in 1845" is wrongly modifying "electric current" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
