How is current divided in a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit current divides into all branches. The current flow through each branch is inversely proportional to the resistance offered by each one them. The branch having higher resistance allows lesser current and the branch having lesser resistance allows more current. Current division rule is applied while finding current flow through each branch of the circuit. According to the current division rule, the current through any branch is equal to the ratio of the total resistance in parallel to the branch to the total resistance, multiplied by the total current in the circuit.
