Formula: I1 = I_total × R2 / (R1 + R2)
I1 = I_total × R2 / (R1 + R2)
Step-by-Step Examples
I=10A, R1=100Ω, R2=200Ω = I1=6.67A, I2=3.33A
10 × 200/300 = 6.67; 10 × 100/300 = 3.33
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a current divider?
A current divider splits total current between parallel branches inversely proportional to their resistance.
Which branch gets more current?
The branch with lower resistance gets more current — current takes the path of least resistance.
