Title:
To Study and Implement Current Divider Circuit
Objective:
1. To design and construct a current divider circuit
2. To notice the application of the current divider circuit.

Theory:
A current divider circuit is a circuit which divides the input current to various branches in a certain ratio.
A simple arrangement of two or more resistors in parallel can be considered as a current divider Circuit.
The Mathematical Equation is

Materials Required:
 Multimeter
 Experimental Kit: Electronic Trainer EES-21-305
 Resistor 100Ω , 150Ω
 Line Cords

Procedure:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in figure below.
2. Mention number of paths of the current flow in the circuit.
3. Referring to the circuit of fig, calculate the total resistance (R T) in the parallel circuit. Then
4. Measure the total resistance from Digital Multimeter
5. Calculate the percentage error of total resistance:
6. Calculate current flowing through the resistors (R1, R2 and R3), using Current Division Rule
7. Measure the total current (IT) and the current through R1, R2 and R3 by using Digital Multimeter
8. Calculate the percentage error of total current:
9. Use Ohm’s law to calculate voltage across the resistors (R 1, R2 and R3),
 10. Measure the voltage drop across the resistors (R 1, R2 and R3) using Digital Multimeter.
11. Calculate the percentage error:

Observation Table:
Values IT I1 I2 VS V1 V2 RT
Calculated 0.05 0.02 0.03 3V 3V 3V 60
Measured 0.05 0.02 0.03 3V 3V 3V 60
% Error 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Conclusion:
 Voltage divider rule is only applicable for series circuit only.
 Voltage drop formula value gives same values as ohms law (V=IR)
