2. Current divider - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_divider

   A general formula for the current I X in a resistor R X that is in parallel with a combination of other resistors of total resistance R T (see Figure 1) is [1] = +, where I T is the total current entering the combined network of R X in parallel with R T.

3. Series and parallel circuits - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

   In a series circuit, the current that flows through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the individual voltage drops across each component. [1] In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each ...

4. Shunt (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shunt_(electrical)

   However, the series resistors R M1 and R M2 are low Ohmic resistors (like in the photo) meant to pass current around the instruments M1 and M2, and function as shunt resistors to those instruments. R M1 and R M2 are connected in parallel with M1 and M2. If seen without the instruments these two resistors would be considered series resistors in ...

5. Resistor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor

   Various resistor types of different shapes and sizes. A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.

6. Network analysis (electrical circuits) - Wikipedia

   For instance, one might transform a voltage generator into a current generator using Norton's theorem in order to be able to later combine the internal resistance of the generator with a parallel impedance load. A resistive circuit is a circuit containing only resistors, ideal current sources, and ideal voltage sources.

7. Thévenin's theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thévenin's_theorem

   The resistance is measured after replacing all voltage- and current-sources with their internal resistances. That means an ideal voltage source is replaced with a short circuit, and an ideal current source is replaced with an open circuit. Resistance can then be calculated across the terminals using the formulae for series and parallel circuits ...
