How to find current through each resistor in a parallel circuit?

Answered by admin @



If Resistance R1 and R2 are in parallel
first you find the total current in the circuit by given voltage and resultant Resistance
I resultant =Voltage/total Resistance

method 1 = current in R1 ,
I1=( R2/R1+R2 )× total I
current in R2 ,,
I2= (R1/R1+R2)×total I


Method 2,,,,,

voltage is same in both Resistance in parallel connection

So. I1 =V/R1

and I2 =V/R2

I hope it helps
koi galti ho to bata diya bhai
