When two resistors are in parallel combination then determine `i_(1)" and " i_(2)` if the combination carries a current I ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`:.` `i_1R_1=i_2R_2` or `i_1/i_2=R_2/R_1`
`i_1=(R_2i)/(R_1+R_2)rArr i_2=(R_1i)/(R_1+R_2)`,
Rember this law of `iprop1/R` in the resistors
connected in parallel. It can be used in problems.
