Current divider

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001504

An electrical circuit configuration that splits an input current into multiple output currents, each a fraction of the total. This arrangement typically consists of resistors connected in parallel, where the current through each branch is inversely proportional to its resistance. It is a basic circuit for distributing current in electronic systems.
