-- The voltage across every circuit element is the same, and is equal to the power supply voltage.
-- The current through each circuit element is in inverse proportion to its impedance.
-- The sum of the currents through all circuit elements is equal to the power supply current.

∙ 12y agoThe characteristic of parallel circuits are:
- The components in the parallel circuit are connected to the same nodes.
- All the components in the parallel circuit have the same voltage at their terminals.

Each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors yes or no?
No. What you are describing is a series-parallel circuit, not a parallel circuit.
Types of electrical circuit?
Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.
What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?
There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.
What would be the purpose of connecting a parallel-tuned circuit into an antenna circuit?
The parallel-tuned filter in antenna circuit rejects only the undesired frequencies.
How are the loads in parallel circuit connected?
Parallel to each other.
What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on separate branches?
Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.
Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
Parallel.
Which circuit would have the highest voltage series or parellel?
There's no correspoindence, correlation, or connection between those characteristics. A series circuit or a parallel circuit may have high or low voltages.
What type of circuit are there?
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
What type of circuit has more than one circuit on a wire a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit is :)
A circuit that has two or more branches for electrons to follow is a?
parallel circuit.
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit
How many paths does a parallel circuit have?
a parallel circuit has 2 or more paths.a series circuit has 1 path.a parallel circuit is better for homes and school
Each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors yes or no?
No. What you are describing is a series-parallel circuit, not a parallel circuit.
Can each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors?
Yes, but then it would be a 'series-parallel' circuit, not a 'parallel' circuit!
