To find one branch current of two resistors in shunt, the:
A) total current is multiplied by the ratio of the other branch resistor, divided by the sum of the branch resistances.
B) product of both is divided by their sum.
C) product of both is divided by their difference.
D) total current is divided by the ratio of the other branch resistor divided by their sum.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct method to find one branch current when two resistors are in parallel (shunt) involves using the total current and multiplying it by the ratio of the resistance of the other branch to the sum of both branch resistances. This approach correctly applies the principles of parallel circuits and Ohm's law.
