What happens to current in a parallel circuit?
in a parallel circuit, current get divided among the parallel branches in a manner so that the product of current and the resistance of each branch becomes same. The sum of the current in each branch is equal to the total current of the circuit.
What quantity varies place to place in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit voltage remains constant but current will vary with the number of branches (resistors). Remember that Current(amps)=V/R.
In a circuit the voltage is the same across all branches?
Parallel
In a circuit the voltage is the same across all branches.?
Parallel
Voltage varies or is the same in all parts of a series circuit?
Current is the same at all points in a series circuit.No statement can be made concerning voltage. Voltage is a potential differencebetween two points, and you haven't specified a point for reference.
How do parallel circuits use current and voltage?
Kirchoff's voltage law: In a series circuit, the signed sum of the voltage drops around the circuit add up to zero. Since a parallel circuit (just the two components of the parallel circuit) also represents a series circuit, this means that the voltage across two elements in parallel must be the same.Kirchoff's current law: The signed sum of the currents entering a node is zero. In a series circuit, this means that the current at every point in that circuit is equal. In a parallel circuit, the currents entering that portion of the circuit divide, but the sum of those divided currents is equal to the current supplying them.

One that has two of more branches for separate current from one voltage source?
That's a Parallel circuit.
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.
In which circuit is the voltage the same across all branches?
Parallel circuit.

Is the current the same everywhere in the parallel circuit?
No. The current in a series circuit is the same everywhere. The voltage across a parallel circuit is the same.
How do you find power in parallel circuit?
Voltage will be same in all branches. Voltage= Current * Total Resistance
What is the advantage of parallel circuit from serios circuit?
In parallel ckt voltage in all branches will be same, its different in series ckt
In a parallel circuit a parallel branch is usually called which current or resistance or voltage path?
A parallel branch is a current path. In general, current follows paths, voltage drops across components, and resistance is the voltage divided by current of specific circuit elements.
