How to calculate current through a resistor in parallel
In short: This video demonstrates how to determine the current flowing through a specific resistor within a parallel circuit. Using equivalent resistance and Ohm's law, it provides a practical worked example for students studying AP Physics 1.
The tutorial walks through the mathematical process of finding individual currents in a parallel configuration. By first determining the equivalent resistance of the circuit, you can then apply Ohm's law to find the current for a single component.
