Current division rule:
When 'n' resistors are connected in parallel across a current source, then-current is divided as follows
When two resistors are connected in parallel, then-current is divided as follows
By using current division rule,
The current flows through the resistor R1 is
The current flows through the resistor R2 is
Application;
Let R1 = 20 Ω, R2 = 60 Ω, I = 40 A
IR2 = I60Ω = 40 × (20 / 80)
I60Ω = 10 A
