This physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the current divider circuit. It explains how to calculate the current flowing through each resistor in a two resistor parallel circuit using a simple formula given the total current entering the circuit. It also includes examples with a parallel circuit with three resistors and one with four resistors in parallel. The voltage across each resistor in a parallel circuit is the same and the currents flowing through each branch must add to the current entering the circuit based on kirchoff's current law / junction rule. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems for you to master this concept.

How Current Divider Formula is derived: In parallel, the voltage across the two resistors is the same. Thus, V1 = V2. And we know V1 = I1 * R1 & V2 = I2 * R2. Thus, I1 * R1 = I2 * R2. Also, Sum of I (in) = Sum of I(out) as in Kirchhoff's Current Law, thus, I (total) = I1 +I2. We know have two simultaneous equations: I1 * R1 = I2 * R2 .................... (i) I(total) = I1 + I2 ..................... (ii) If you sustitute I1, you get the formula to find I2: I2 = I(total) [(R1)/(R1 +R2)] If you sustitute I2, you get the formula to find I1: I1 = I(total) [(R2)/(R1 +R2)] Hope this helps!

@casp3r_de_gh0st90 2 года назад

Hey man, something i noticed with this video that messed me up for a while is that the equation in the thumbnail is actually wrong and is inconsistent with what you say and show in the actual video. In the thumbnail you write “I1= R1/(R1+R2) *Is” meanwhile the actual equation should have R2 in the numerator instead of R1 when solving for the current I1 at R1. Other than that typo, great video

A much easier way to do this is by finding the total resistance, then find the voltage accross the parrellel resistors, and then just use I=V/R to find the currents

For anyone wondering an easy formula that works to find the current at any point in a parallel resistor circuit is: I(n) = I(T) * [ R(eq) / R(n) ] Where I(n) is the current through the resistor n I(T) is the total current before the parallel split R(eq) is the equivalent resistance of all in parallel which is just 1/R(eq) = 1/R(1) + 1/R(2) + 1/R(3) ... R(n) is then the resistor you want to find the current I(n) flowing through. This works for 2,3,4,...,∞ parallel resistor circuits.
