Current for branch A

—

Ideal SI-unit model for learning. Real components, tolerances, losses and safe operating limits need separate checking.

Formula

Use Iₐ = IRᵦ/(Rₐ+Rᵦ) and Iᵦ = IRₐ/(Rₐ+Rᵦ). I na total current. Rₐ and Rᵦ na di parallel branch resistances for di same unit; each current result dey use di input current unit.

We check inputs for missing values and allowed ranges. Result wey pass the finite numeric range no go show. Rounding affect wetin display, while calculation use the model numeric precision.

Check your units and assumptions before you rely on result. Changing label no convert currency or physical unit.
