I have two resistors R1 and R2 (31 ohms) in parallel with each other.
Both resistors are supplied to 3.28V.
R1 and R2 both have seperate loads.
I measured R1 current to be 8.8mA
I measured the voltage at the load to be 3.04V
I measured R2 current to be 1mA
I measured the voltage at the load to be 3.24V
Im confused because I thought that the current would be the same because the resitance is the same (I = 3.28V/31 = 106mA). Is the load determining the current and not the 31 ohm resistors?
