Applications of Current Divider Rule
- Current division is used to calculate the current in the branches of a circuit in which resistors are in parallel.
- It is used in making LEDs as the limiting current required in each branch for the filament to glow can be known using this rule.
- Used in charging and discharging of batteries in which current flow to each battery can be controlled using the current divider rule.
- A current also acts as a signal in many electronic circuits, this rule helps in dividing the signal into multiple channels along the communication pathway.
Current Divider Rule
To understand this rule, one needs to have an idea about electric circuits and their classification according to the arrangement of components in the given circuit. Because as per their working, they act as divider circuits.
