Important conditions of Current Divider Rule
Note that there are certain constraints under which the above formula for current divider rule is derived.
These are as follows:
- All the sources in the circuit whether it be a current source or a voltage source, are considered being ‘ideal’.
This means that the internal resistance in the source elements is considered to zero. - All the elements in the circuit are considered being ‘linear’ so their properties won’t change with respect to time.
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.
