    Parallel Circuits
    PARALLEL ELEMENTS
    Two elements, branches, or networks are in parallel if they have two points in common.

    In parallel circuits
    The voltage across parallel elements is the same.
    Using this fact will result in

    but

    Therefore, The total current equal to algebraic sum of branches current

    EXAMPLE 1
    Determine the total conductance and resistance for the parallel network of Fig. shown below

    EXAMPLE 2

    The total resistance of parallel resistors is always less than the value of the smallest resistor.

    KIRCHHOFF’S CURRENT LAW


    Kirchhoff’s voltage law provides an important relationship among voltage levels around any closed loop of a network. We now
    consider
    Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL), which provides an equally important relationship among current levels at any junction.
    Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) states that the algebraic sum of the currents entering and leaving an area, system, or junction
    is zero.
    In other words,
    the sum of the currents entering an area, system, or junction must equal the sum of the currents leaving the area, system, or
    junction.
    In equation form:

    EXAMPLE 5
    Determine the currents I3 and I4

    EXAMPLE 6
    Find the magnitude and direction of the currents I3, I4, I6, and I7 for the network of following Figure. Even though the elements
    are not in series or parallel, Kirchhoff’s current law can be applied to determine all the unknown currents.

    EXAMPLE 7
    Determine I1, I3, I4, and I5 for the network shown below

    EXAMPLE 8
    Determine the currents I3 and I5 of Fig. shown below through applications of Kirchhoff’s current law.

    EXAMPLE 9 Find the magnitude and direction of the currents I3, I4, I6, and I7 for the network shown below. Even though the
    elements are not in series or parallel, Kirchhoff’s current law can be applied to determine all the unknown currents.

    CURRENT DIVIDER RULE


    The current divider rule (CDR) will determine how the current entering a set of parallel branches will split
    between the elements.
    For two parallel elements of equal value, the current will divide equally.
    For parallel elements with different values,
    The smaller resistance has greatest value of current.
    The current will split with a ratio equal to the inverse of their resistor values.
