State three characteristics of a parallel circuit.


Open in App
Solution

Characteristics of a parallel circuit.

  1. Each device joins the same two spots. As a result, each gadget has the same voltage.
  2. The circuit's total current is split between the parallel branches. Each branch's current is proportional to the inverse of its resistance.
  3. The sum of the currents in the parallel branches equals the total current in the circuit.
  4. The overall resistance of the circuit decreases as the number of branches grows.
