BASIC CONCEPTS

Current divider circuits are parallel circuits in which the source or supply current is separated
into a variety of parallel paths. In a parallel connected circuit, all of the components have the
same two end nodes. As a result, the current will flow or travel along a number of different
pathways and branches. Present divider circuits split current by using two or more parallel
branches. The main characteristic of parallel circuits is that while they may produce different
currents flowing through different branches, the voltage is common to all the connected paths.

A voltage divider is a straightforward circuit for converting a high voltage to a lower voltage. The
divide-down ratio is determined by two resistors. Using these two series resistors and an input
voltage, we will produce an output voltage that is a fraction of the input voltage. The voltage
divider is one of the most-simple circuits in electronics. Voltage dividers come in handy in a
number of circumstances.

The Delta-Wye transformation is a third approach for converting resistor combinations that
cannot be accommodated by the series and parallel equations. This is what a Pi - T
transformation is called. Any resistor networks are too complicated to generalize using standard
series and parallel combinations. This dilemma is often solved using the Delta-Wye
transformation.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

In table 1 Voltage divider, based on our findings in the multism the given R are R1 is
equal to 1 kiloampere, R2 is equal to 2.2 kiloampere and R3 is equal to 3.3 kiloampere. The
outcome of Vexpt in R1 is 5.17v the same as Vtheoritical which is 5.17v also. The outcome of
Vexpt in R2 is 6.83v the same as Vtheoritical which is 6.83v also. While the outcome of Vexpt
and Vtheoritical in R3 are the same which is also 6.83v. Therefore whatever the result of Vexpt
the result of Vtheoritical are the same as Vexpt.

In table 2 current divider, based on our findings in the multism the given R are R1 is equal
to 1 kiloampere, R2 is equal to 2.2 kiloampere and R3 is equal to 3.3 kiloampere. The outcome
of Iexpt in R1 is 0.00517 A the same as Itheoritical which is 0.00517 A also. The outcome of
Iexpt in R2 is 0.00310 A the same as Itheoritical which is 0.00310 A also. While the outcome of
Iexpt and Itheoritical in R3 are the same which is also 0.00207 A. Therefore whatever the result
of Iexpt the result of Itheoritical are the same as Iexpt.

In table 3 DELTA-WYE the given terminal are AB, AC and BC. The result of Io in IAB is
0.00118 A the same as the result of Iy which is 0.00118 A. The result of Io in IAC is 0.00616 A
the same as the result of Iy which is 0.00616 A. While also the Io in IBC is 0.00687 A the same
as the result of ly which is 0.00687 A. To cut it short whatever the result of Io are the same with
Iy.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

We conclude that in order to find the needed results of Vexpt and Vtheoritical, Iexpt and
Itheoritical, Io and Iy specific procedures and formulas are needed. Voltage Divider and Current
Divider are the most common rules applied in practical electronics. In order to send a current
through an electric conductor, an electromotive force has to be applied. When we say the
current ‘I’ is passing flowing through the resistor ‘R,’ it logically follows that a force working
across resistor R. A current divider is a circuit which divides the current into small parts. The
delta-wye and wye-delta transformation is a useful technique in circuit analysis in transforming a
circuit to reduce it to a simpler circuit but of course the resistances will be constant before
transformation.
