Parallel Circuits

What law states that the voltage across each component in a parallel circuit remains constant?

• Ohm's Law

• Kirchhoff's Current Law

• Joule's Law

• Kirchhoff's Voltage Law

According to Kirchhoff's Current Law, how does the current behave in a parallel circuit?

• Current doubles in each branch

• Current remains constant across each branch

• Current varies inversely with resistance

• Current is zero

How is the total resistance in a parallel circuit calculated when there are only two resistors?

• Sum of the resistances

• Product over sum of the resistances

• Inverse sum of the resistances

• Average of the resistances

What happens to the total resistance in a parallel circuit as more resistors are added?

• It increases

• It decreases

• It remains the same

• It doubles

In the given example, what is the total power dissipation in the circuit?

• 1250 Watts

• 1875 Watts

• 2050 Watts

• 625 Watts
