How do you find the current through a resistor that is in parallel with 2 other nonequal resistors? I totally forgot how to do this.
as an example, if
E = 10V
R1= 5ohm
R2 = 10ohm
R3 = 15ohm
So, I know that 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 = .533ohm
and also know Inet = 10V/.533ohm = 18.76A
but how do i get current going through R1?
please help, and thanks
PS --this is NOT a homework question even though i post a lot of HW questions
