Current Divider Example. Find the current dissipated across both resistors. Apply current divider across r 1.
Using the parallel resistance formula solve 5 and 10 ohms. Notice however that the ratio in the voltage divider formula is r n individual resistance divided by r total and how the ratio in the current divider formula is r total divided by. Impact of adding another resistor.
Two resistors of 200 ohms.
P 1 r 1 i 12 1000 0 95 2 903 w. You can practice some more examples here to develop more concepts and knowledge on current divider circuits. The student uses joule s law to calculate the resistance of each lamp 240 ω and uses the parallel resistance formula to calculate the circuit s total resistance 80 ω. 1 total circuit current it.
