What happens to the total current in a parallel circuit?
The total current remains constant regardless of branches.
The total current is only determined by the largest branch.
The total current decreases as more branches are added.
The total current increases as more branches are added.
Define electromagnetism in simple terms.
Electromagnetism is the study of sound waves.
Electromagnetism refers to the force between two solid objects.
Electromagnetism is the process of generating electricity from heat.

AC is safer than DC
DC is used in household appliances
AC is always more efficient than DC
AC changes direction periodically; DC flows in one direction.
How does a transformer work in relation to electromagnetism?
A transformer works by using electromagnetic induction to transfer electrical energy between two coils, changing voltage levels based on the turns ratio.
A transformer generates electricity through chemical reactions.
A transformer converts mechanical energy into electrical energy directly.
A transformer uses static electricity to change voltage levels.
What is the purpose of a fuse in an electrical circuit?
To enhance the circuit's efficiency.
To store electrical energy for later use.
The purpose of a fuse is to protect an electrical circuit from overcurrent by breaking the circuit when the current exceeds a safe level.
To increase the voltage in the circuit.
