1.

What are the three characteristics of the voltage across each branch of a parallel RL circuit?

a)

The current across each of the branches is the same value, equal in value to the total applied current, and all in phase of each other.

b)

The voltage across each of the branches is the same value, equal in value to the total applied voltage, and all in phase of each other.

c)

The voltage across each of the branches is the same value, equal in value to the total applied voltage, and all in out phase of each other.

d)

The current across each of the branches is the same value, equal in value to the total applied current, and all in out phase of each other.

2.

The total current in a parallel RL circuit is Equal to the vector sum rather than the arithmetic sum. Why?

a)

Because the loop currents are out of phase with each other.

b)

Because the loop voltages are out of phase with each other.

c)

Because the branch voltages are out of phase with each other.

d)

Because the branch currents are out of phase with each other.
