When two branches are connected in parallel, a current is to be found in any one of the branches the current divider rule is used.
\(I_1=I\times {R_2\over R_1+R_2}\)
& \(I_2=I\times {R_1\over R_1+R_2}\)
Calculation:
The current through the 2 Ω resistor is given by:
\(I=36\times {1\over 1+2}\)
I = 12 A from a to b
Additional Information Voltage divider rule:
The voltage across R2 is given by:
\(V_2=V\times {R_2\over R_1+R_2}\)
The voltage across R1 is given by:
\(V_1=V\times {R_1\over R_1+R_2}\)
