Parallel DC Circuits open ended - All about Circuits

In this circuit, three resistors receive the same amount of voltage (24 volts) from a single source. Complete a table with the given values and calculate: the amount of current "drawn" by each resistor and the amount of power dissipated by each resistor:

What will happen to the brightness of the light bulb if the switch in this circuit is suddenly closed?

Calculate equivalent resistance (Req), current from the power source (Is), current in each resistor, total power, and power in each resistor.

Follow-up question: without appealing to Ohm’s Law, explain why the total resistance is one-half as much as either of the individual resistances.

Explain, step by step, how you calculated the amount of current (I) flowing through each and the voltage (V) dropped by each resistor.

In a parallel circuit, certain general rules may be stated with regard to quantities of voltage, current, resistance, and power. Express these rules, using your own words: "In a parallel circuit, voltage . . ." "In a parallel circuit, current . . ." "In a parallel circuit, resistance . . ." "In a parallel circuit, power . . ."

What will happen in this circuit as ? Create a table of values for this circuit when all the switches are closed, and a different table for when all the switches are open. Include in both tables: - The voltage drop across each resistor - The current through each resistor - The total amount of current drawn from the battery - The total amount of circuit resistance “seen” by the battery
