Best Answer

Ix = IT(Rp/Rx+Rp)

where Ix is the current you are trying to find, IT is the total current, Rx is the resistor in question, Rp is/are the resistor(s) in parallel with the resistor in question.

What is the rule for voltage across each resistor?

Volt across a resistor = resistance x current through the resistor.


Why and when does a current carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field experiences a force list factor on which the direction of this force depend State the rule which may be used to determine the di?

Current carrying conductor will have magnetic lines around it. So when it is kept perpendicular to the magnetic field then the force would be maximum. The force depends on 1. magnitude of current 2. Magnetic field induction 3. Angle between the direction of current and magnetic field. Fleming's Left hand rule is used to find the direction of force acting on the rod


Suppose that you're facing a straight current-carrying conductor and the current is flowing toward you the lines of magnetic force at any point in the magnetic field will act in?

The lines of magnetic force at any point in the magnetic field of a current flowing towards you will act in the counter clockwise direction. This can be determined by using the right hand rule. Point your thumb in the direction of the current flowing down the straight wire. The curl of your fingers shows the direction of the magnetic lines of flux. The magnetic field of a current is always perpendicular to it. A current facing away from you would produce magnetic lines of force acting in the clockwise direction.

What is a spring dividers used for?

Spring Dividers are used for measuring distances between two points, transferring or comparing measurements directly from a rule, or for scribing an arc, radius, or circle. A spring divider consists of two sharp points at the end of straight legs, held apart by a spring and adjusted by means of a screw and nut. The spring divider is available in sizes from 3 to 10 inches in length.


Current in a parallel circuit?

In any parallel connection The original current gets divided into the parallel branches, however the division is solely based upon the resistances of the parallel paths. Current always tries to flow through the branch having the least resistance. Thus More current will flow in the branch having less resistance and vice-versa. The currents flowing in the parallel branches can be found out by using the current divider rule. Suppose if R1 & R2 are two branches of a parallel connection & i1 & i2 is the current flowing through them respectively. Let 'I' be the original current then the current through R1 can be given as i1=R1/(R1+R2) * I similarly current through R2 can also be calculated.


what rule is applied in case of dc motor?

You may be thinking of Fleming's Left-Hand Rule (for conventional current flow) or Fleming's Right-Hand Rule (for electron flow), devised by academic Sir Ambrose Fleming, as a aid for determining the direction of the resulting force acting on a current-carrying conductor within a magnetic field, when the direction of current and the direction of the magnetic field are known.

Absolutely. The first rule: Source voltage should be equal to the device voltage. The second rule: Source current sould be higher than the cumulative of the device's current.


Does copper need a voltage to produce a current?

Copper can not of itself produce a current. <><><><><> However, resistance, be it copper or some other material, will produce a current if a voltage is applied to it. The rule is Ohm's law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance.
