The sum of the branch currents is  
equal to the total current

Total Resistance R  =  R1R2 / R1 + R2
                               R =  10 × 15 / 10 + 15 
                                   = 150 / 25 = 6Ω 
                                R = 6 Ω

Total current I = V / R 
                          = 60 / 6 
                        I = 10 A

Branch Current I1= V/R1
                               = 60/10
                            I1=6A

Branch Current I2= V/R2
                               = 60/15
                            I1=4A

                             I = I1 + I2 
                       10A = 6A + 4A 
                       10 A = 10 A

The sum of the branch currents is equal  
to the total current in a parallel circuit.
