I had some troubles with current division last year. The old battery filaments wired to 2 volts in parallel. Not in series. Therefore, not only did the current divide but also resistances in parallel. So you had 2 volts + on all the + filaments and the watts give equivalent resistance. I winded up needing to make a circuit of my own using torch lamps and battery. Resistance will decrease in parallel as in 1/10 + 1/10 = sum/1. 25R. I made simple series chains and parallel circuits. Obviously in the series chain voltage will divide but current stays the same. In parallel, only current divides. Filament circuits are good for applied theory.
