Two resistors R1 and R2 connected in parallel.Total current I = I1 + I2

CURRENT DIVISION PRINCIPLE


Figure 1.16

Figure 1.16 Shows two resistors R1 and R2 connected in parallel.

Total current I = I1 + I2

V =I1 R1 = I2 R2

From the above


Therefore 

and 

The current in a branch is equal to total current multiplied by other branch resistances and divided by sum of branch resistances.
