A battery is a voltage source, always providing the same potential difference regardless of the current. It is possible to make a current source that always provides the same current regardless of the potential difference. The circuit in FIGURE P28.56 is called a current divider. It sends a fraction of the source current to the load. Find an expression for Iload in terms of R1, R2and Isource. You can assume that the load’s resistance is much less than R2.
