Intro to parallel circuits sheet 1.3

What happens to the current when it enters a parallel circuit?

• It increases in strength.

• It decreases in strength.

• It stops flowing.

• It branches into different paths.

How do you calculate the total current in a parallel circuit?

• By subtracting the currents in each branch.

• By dividing the currents in each branch.

• By multiplying the currents in each branch.

• By adding the currents in each branch.

What is the formula for Ohm's law?

• V = R/I

• V = IR

• V = I+R

• V = I/R

How do you find the total resistance in a parallel circuit using the inverse method?

• Add the resistances directly.

• Multiply the resistances directly.

• Add the inverses of the resistances and take the inverse of the sum.

• Subtract the inverses of the resistances.

What remains the same across all branches in a parallel circuit?

• Voltage

• Resistance

• Power

• Current
