qual resistance, the flow of current through anybranch will be inversely as the resistance of that branch. For example, if a circuit divides into two branches, the rela-tive resistances of which are 2 and 3 respectively, Fig. 262, the currents I^ and /, in thesebranches will be i^roportionalto the… … Fig. 262.

Therefore, in the branches in which the relative resistances areas 2 : 3, the currents will be as 3 : 2. In other words, in this ex-ample, 3/5 of the current will flow through…
