Current Divider Calculator
A current entering parallel branches divides in proportion to each branch's conductance. Any number of branches up to eight is supported, not only the two-resistor case.

Common branch voltage V
571.4 mV
| R1 = 100 Ω | I = 5.714 mA · p = 3.265 mW |
|---|---|
| R2 = 200 Ω | I = 2.857 mA · p = 1.633 mW |
| R3 = 400 Ω | I = 1.429 mA · p = 816.3 µW |

An ideal current source Is1 feeds node 1; every branch returns to the reference node.
Technical reference
I_k = I·G_k / Σ G_j, G_k = 1/R_k
V = I / Σ G_j
p_k = V·I_k
- I
- total current into the parallel group[A]
- G_k
- branch conductance[S]
Branch currents are computed from conductances; the common voltage and powers come from the same circuit solved in the Lab.
