A current divider.
Current strength is the same The current is the same anywhere in
anywhere in a series circuit the series part of the circuit, but splits
when it reaches parallel branches.
A1 = A2 = A 3 Lower resistance = higher current.
Atotal = A4 = A5
A1 + A2 + A3 = Atotal
A potential divider. Potential is the same across all
Potential divides in the same ratio as branches of a parallel network.
