[Name _ Date [ Course/Section ia Professor [Year = Rating Experiment No. 6 VOLTAGE AND CURRENT DIVIDER PRINCIPLE L OBJECTIVES 1, To be familiar with the application of Voltage and Current Divider Principle in electric circuits 2. To study the relationship between resistance, voltage and current in electric circuits I. DISCUSSION The potential difference across each resistor in series circuit and the current flowing through each resistor in parallel could be obtained by using’ voltage divider principle and current divider principle respectively. For Voltage divider (refer to Fig. 6-1): RV; R, Vv, where: V+ is the source voltage of the circuit while Ry is the total equivalent resistance. For Current divider (refer to Fig. 6-2): eRe pe RR ee 1 R,R, +R,R; +RaR; RRaly or i, =-——_—__ = 1 — 7 RR, +R; + RR; RRaly Ryl 1, — ae ___ Same >" RR, FRR, +R, R where: Jy isthe total current of the circuit while Rr is the total equivalent resistance.Ill.
