y did you use "G" instead of "R"?

confused me for a second, like it was something else

[drjcircuits]

It makes the analysis or derivation a little easier in some ways. Current through R1 is I1=Is*R2/(R1+R2). If you want the current through I1 it's the opposite resistor over the sum of two resistors. Where in terms of Gs it's I1=Is*G1/(G1+G2). Hope it helps! usually, Gs are used for parallel circuits and Rs for series circuit. Dr J

G is called the CONDUCTANCE WHERE G=1/R

[pollerobiik]

Good, but make it simple.

[santoory]

Thanks a lot.

@drjcircuits:

thank you very much for these videos !! :D

[tbejaoui1]

G=(1/R) It's the measure of conductance of a resistor. So in a parallel circuit, we add the resistors in this format: (1/R1 + 1/R2.....etc.) And then the recipricol of that gives you the R-equivelant.

i am learning voltage and current divider rule since last 5 month, but i don't understand that yet.

[brendonp1]

I never knew where the current division equation came from, thanks for explaining it!

[brujahrage]

Just wanted to thank you for this video. Your explanation of current division cleared up so much confusion, and will hopefully help me with my circuits 1 exam tomorrow. I hope to see more of your work sir.

wow that was the best explanation of CD THX !
