For two parallel resistors, the current through one is equal to the other resistor
times the total entering current divided by the sum ofthe two resistors.
CURRENT DIVIDER RULE (CDR)
EXAMPLE 6.22 For the parallel network in Fig.
6.42, determine currentI1 using Eq. (6.14).
KIRCHHOFF’S CURRENT LA
The algebraic sum of the Wentering and leaving a junction (or
currents
region) of a network is zero.
The sum of the currents entering a junction (or region) of a network must equal the sum of the
currents leaving the same junction (or region).
