DC Circuits II MA 02 02 23

Parallel Circuits have more than one path for current to flow and must contain two(2) or more loads, not connected in series.

• True.

• False.

Equal voltage is present across all loads in a parallel circuit.

• True.

• False.

In a parallel circuit, the Total Current Flow(I_T) is equal to the sum of the individual current flow of each parallel branch. As an equation, it can be written as follows:

• I = V ÷ R

• I_T = I₁ = I₂ = I_3...I_n

• I_T = I₁ + I₂ + I_3...I_n

• I = P ÷ E

The Reciprocal Method cannot be used to find the Total Resistance(R_T) of a parallel circuit.

• True.

• False.

Choose the best answer to represent the Total Resistance(R_T) of the circuit.

• R_T = R₁ + R₂ + R₃

• R_T < R₁ or R₂ or R₃

• 50Ω

• 10Ω

The Total Power(P_T) consumed in a parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the voltage consumption of each parallel branch.

• True.

• False.

• 9 Amps

• 926 mA

• 2.6 Amps

• 26 Amps

The circuit diagram can be used to describe what type of circuit?

• Complete Circuit

• Closed Circuit

• Open Circuit

• Short Circuit

A manual range multimeter would be a good example to describe a voltage dividing circuit.

• True.

• False.

Choose the best answer to describe the following circuit type.

• Ohm's Circuit

• Super Circuit

• Paraseries Circuit

• Combination Circuit
