Question | Answer |
---|---|
How many paths does current flow in a parallel circuit? | Current flows in more than one complete path. |
In a parallel circuit how does current flow? | Current flows through each available path. |
In a parallel circuit applied voltage is ---? | Applied voltage is the same in each branch because it is connected across the same voltage source. |
In a parallel circuit Current is---? | Current is divided through each branch of a parallel circuit. |
How is current calculated in a parallel circuit? | Current is calculated by dividing the applied voltage by the resistance. |
What does the current in each branch in a parallel circuit depend on? | The current depends on the resistance in the branch |
The branch with the smallest resistance in a parallel circuit has? | It has the largest current flow. |
The branch with the largest resistance in a parallel circuit has? | It has the smallest current flow. |
To calculate the total resistance in a parallel circuit with 2 or more branches what should you use? | The Reciprocal Formula |
The total resistance of the parallel circuit is always? | Less than value of any single branch resistance |
