DIVISION OF CURRENT IN PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Figure
1.14 shows two resistors R1 and R2 connected in parallel. How does the total
current I divide among the two resistors?
In
order to obtain the distribution, we write
I
= I1 + I2 and V=I1 R1 = I2
R2
So,
current in a branch is equal to total current multiplied by other branch
resistance and divided by sum of branch resistances.
