use "current division rule" or "voltage division rule"

Its simple

if you know the voltage say 10V,resistors be R1,R2(4 ohms,6 ohms)

Equivalent R=(R1XR2)/(R1+R2) (since parallel)

=24/10

=2.4 ohms

so total current=10/2.4

=4.16A

now via R1,Current=I(R2/(R1+R2))

=4.16(6/10)

=2.5A

Via R2=I(R1/(R1+R2))

4.16(4/10)

=1.664A

hope you understood.

friend i don't know what you mean when you ask such a simple question in an unprofessional way.

but i really warn you, you are zero in subject knowledge.

so make sure you do your theory well before practical.
