Question

To calculate current flow through any branch of a circuit by substituting the values of IX and RX for the branch
values when total circuit current and the resistance are known, use the _______________ formula.

A. reciprocal
B. current divider

Answer 1

Answer:

Current divider

Explanation:

To calculate current flow through any branch of a circuit by substituting the values of $I_X\ and\ R_X$ for the branch  values when total circuit current and the resistance are known, use the current divider formula.

A current divider is a circuit that produces output current as a function of input current. It is a rule to find the splitting of the current in all branches of the circuit. Hence, the correct option is (B).
