What happens to the current at a junction in a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit the current divides when it comes to a junction. Part of the current flows through one branch and the other part flows through the other.When the two branches have the same resistance, the same current flows through each branch.When the two branches have different resistances, a bigger current flows through the branch with the smaller resistance - it's just easier this way!Hope i helped ;)


Can resistors function the same in AC circuits as in DC circuits?

Yes, they both can add a load to a circuit.


Is it good practice to have outlets on different floors on the same circuit?

The answer is no, not generally. All that means is I wouldn't do it that way. It all depends on how much you want to go out if that circuit trips. Having outlets on different circuits isn't as important as having lighting on different circuits. If a lighting circuit trips, and in a home the lighting and outlets share circuits, you don't want every room on that floor to be dark. So you might consider wiring a room on one floor on the same circuit as the room above or below. That's fine. But if there are 4 rooms in close proximity on the same floor, I wouldn't put all the lighting on one circuit, even though that is an acceptable installation.


What is synchronous impedance?

Synchronous impedance is also known as the EMF method. It is a ratio of open circuits to short circuits, when they both are referred to the same field excitation.


Can you junction box 8ga wire with 10ga wire?

There is no restriction on different size wires being spliced in the same junction box. If your question involves splicing 8ga. to 10ga, this also is not a problem so long as the circuit allows for 10ga wire.

What are differences between series and parallel circuits?

In series circuits current will be the same through out the circuit. So whereever we connect the ammeter the same current is registered. But in parallel circuit current will be different in different lines. In parallel circuits the potential difference will be the same but in series pd will be different.


Is junction transistor and bipolar junction transistor are same?

Yes, the are different names for the same thing.


Are junction capacitance and transition capacitance the same?

Junction capacitance is used to take the ripple out of DC circuits primarily. The other is used in voltage doublers or step ups as a storage.


How is a parallel circuit different from a series circuiti?

Parallel Circuit: * Voltage at Each junction is same * Current through each branch will be different. It depends on the resistance of the components used. Series circuit: * Voltage drop at the ends of different components will be different. * Current through each component will be the same.


How are series circuits and parallel circuits the same?

They are not. They are connected differently, and the voltages and currents behave in different ways.


Use Ohm's Law and explain how 2 circuits have the same current but different resistance?

As we know V=IR, by changing the voltages in the two different circuits, we can maintain the same current even we have different resistance.


What are the differences between parallel circuit and series circuit?

Parallel circuits can have more than one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______O_____| |_____|-______| Series circuits only have one way around the circuit I.e. ______O______ |______|-_____| Key: __ or | = wire O = light |- = battery/cell


Why does the same voltage run through all the branches of a parallel circuit irrelevant of the different resistance appliances on those branches?

The same voltage is present but does not run. It is the current that could be described as "runniing" through the different branches. Just by definition, parallel circuits necessarily have the same voltage. It is architecture of the circuit.


Series circuits and parallel circuits how do they differ?

Components connected in series are connected along a single path, so the same current flows through all of the components.Components connected in parallel are connected so the same voltage is applied to each component
