Parallel circuit Flashcards
1
Q
Voltage is the same across all branches
A
ET= V1 = V2
2
Q
Current, the value of the current may be different in each branch
A
IT = VT / R1 IT = I1 + I2 + I3
3
Q
Resistance, Total resistance is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of reciprocals of the individual resistance
A
1 / RT = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3
