"through which" can not pass!

MRI machine
I read the following in Howstuffworks
How MRI Works
(...)
Resistive magnets consist of many windings or coils of wire wrapped around a cylinder or bore through which an electric current is passed.
(...)
Everybody understands that a current must pass through the wires... not through the bore.
Do you think the sentence needs some remedy?
I appreciate your help.

PS: I know the ASK DIANA section is temporarily not accepting submissions, so in case you are too busy, I am happy to wait. Cheerioh!!
Hi Minhthien, This sentence is ok the way it is. No change needed. It is just a very formal way of saying that the elecrical current can not pass through the coils/bore.
The ASK DIANA section is still closed and will be closed for the next while. I am developing new materials and books that I would like to make available on the site, and then I will be re-opening the question area.
Have a great day Minhthien. :)- Diana
