Calculate Total Parallel Current









Formula

The formula to calculate the total parallel current (Ip) is:

\[ I_p = \sum I_x \]

What is Total Parallel Current?

Total parallel current refers to the sum of all individual currents flowing through parallel branches in an electrical circuit. This calculation is important for understanding the overall current distribution in parallel circuits.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the total parallel current (Ip):

\[ I_p = I_1 + I_2 + I_3 + I_4 + I_5 = 2 + 3 + 1.5 + 2.5 + 1 = 10 \text{ amps} \]

The Total Parallel Current (Ip) is 10 amps.
