• false

In the parallel circuit, total resistance is increase when more resistance are added. 

• true

• false

The reciprocal of resistance is  ___________________.

• Conductance

• Inductance

• Capacitance

• a & b are correct

In a Parallel circuit, the branch of lowest resistance has ___________ current.

• more

• less

__________ states that the sum of all individual currents in a parallel circuit equals to the total current of main line.

• Ohm’s Law

• Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL)

• Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL)

• b & c are correct

The formula of Total Parallel Resistance is _________________

• Rtotal = R1 × R2 / R1 + R2

• 1 / Rtotal = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2

• Rtotal = R1 + R2

In a parallel circuit, the smallest branch resistance will always dissipate the most power. 

• true

• false

If one branch of parallel circuit is open then all the other branches have same current. 

• true

• false
