Basic DC Theory BASIC DC CIRCUIT CALCULATIONS Solution: I1 R2 R1 R2 IT 8 6 8 (24) 8 14 (24) 13.71  amps I2 R1 R1 R2 IT 6 6 8 (24) 6 14 (24) 10.29  amps Since I1 and IT were known, we could have also simply subtracted I1 from IT to find I2: IT I1 I2 I2 IT I1 24 13.71 10.29  amps Summary The important information in this chapter is summarized below. Basic DC Circuit Calculations Summary Equivalent resistance is a term used to represent the total resistance a combination of loads presents to a circuit. A voltage divider is used to obtain different values of voltage from a single energy source. Current division is used to determine the current flowing through each leg of a parallel circuit.
