Unit 7: Parallel Circuits

Question 1

How many paths does a parallel circuit can have?

Answer 1

More than one

Question 2

How to calculate total current in a parallel circuits?

Answer 2

The total current is the sum of all individual branches of the circuit

Question 3

How is voltage measured in a parallel circuit?

Answer 3

The voltage is the same through all of the circuit

Question 4

How to find total resistance if the branches are equal to each other?

Answer 4

The resistance can be found using the formula RT= R/N where R means the value of the resistors and N means how many of them are in the circuit.

Question 5

How can you find resistance in a parallel circuit if the branches are different?

Answer 5

Using the formula (R1^-1+, R2^-1+, R3^-1…)^-1

Question 6

Are home circuits connected in series or in parallel?

Answer 6

Parallel

Question 7

How do you find total power in a parallel circuit?

Answer 7

The total power in a parallel circuit is equal to the sum of all the individual branches

Question 8

Parallel circuits are not current dividers, is that true or false?

Answer 8

False

Question 9

The current flowing through each branch of a parallel circuit can be calculated when the total resistance
and the total current are known. true or false?

Answer 9

True

Question 10

The amount of current flow through each branch of a parallel circuit is inversely proportional to its
resistance. True or False?

Answer 10

True
