Question

Does the current flowing in the main circuit have the same magnitude as the current flowing through resistor in parallel circuit justify your answer what can you say about potential difference in the circuit

Open in App

Solution

Absolutely Yes.

When an electic component flowing through a parallel circuit, the current through them is same and the potential differnce varies.

However, the output of current will be less from the resistor.
