Talk:Current divider rule

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am not shure what needs to be cleaned up in it. i agree that some pictures would help but since i cannot host any..

as for merging it with the resistors i would have to disagree. It does not mention how to find current through a resistor.

A merge to Ohm's Law would seem more appropriate. Note that merge means summarise in the other article, not just redirect. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 22:12, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Ohm's law talkes about how voltage equals current divided times resistance

Gee, really? And how do you think the current divider (and potential divider come to that) equations are derived? Please note: I do have some minor understanding of this, my (B.Eng) degree is in electrical engineering and I learned Ohm's law on my father's knee, since he was an electrical engineering teacher at a college :-) I'd say that at the very least Voltage divider and Current divider should be merged and actually I'd put both in Ohm's law since the three articles are inextricably linked. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] AfD? 09:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The rules

It is true that the CDR and VDR and Ohms law are the very basics of electrical enginering. however i disagree with you comments that they should be merged into the ohms law.

Current Divider and Voltage Divider do use ohms law and are a pratical application of it. however they are seperate elements and most textbooks i read have them divided up into different sections as well. 08:19, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
