Current Divider (Two Parallel Branches) (I1 = I × R2/(R1+R2): current through R1 when total I)
jee-mainjee-advancedneet-ug
I1 = I × R2/(R1+R2) — current through R1 when total I enters parallel pair
What each symbol means
| Symbol | What it stands for |
|---|---|
| I | Total current entering the parallel pair (A) |
| I_1 | Current through branch with R1 (A) |
| R_i | Parallel branch resistances (Ω) |
When to use this
Two-branch parallel; same V across branches; DC.
