Ohm’s Law Example #2

This tutorial show how to determine the total current in a simple parallel resistor (current divider) circuit using Ohm’s law. We use the principle of current division to first find the total circuit resistance of the three parallel resistors, and then rearrange Ohm’s law (V=IR) to get I=V/R. In other words, the total current is equal to the total voltage divided by total resistance. The sum of all currents through each resistor is equal to the total current passing through the voltage source.
