What happens to the total power of a parallel circuit when one load opens?

You can't really talk about the power of a circuit. In electrical problems you have to be very careful about using the correct term. If you mean the current flowing in the circuit, and by opening the load you mean opening the switch which isolates it, then the total current will decrease. If you mean the voltage, this won't change.

What happens to the power output of each lamp if more lamps are connected in parallel?
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
Which switch opens the circuit on a tv?
The power on switch
Which type of circuit the parallel circuit are use?
they are used for more power than a series circuit so you should use this one.
How does the brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit compare to the brightness of the bulb in a simple circuit?
The brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit is the same as the brightness of a bulb in a simple circuit. By Kirchoff's voltage law, each element of a parallel circuit has the same voltage drop across it. With the same voltage, the same type of bulb will dissipate the same power, and have the same brightness.
WhVuvbreutpirhete iuat types of parallel circuits are there?
There is one type of parallel circuit. An example of this type of circuit is the electrical wiring in a house. These circuits are generally very complex and have a single power source.
What happens to the power output of each lamp if more lamps are connected in parallel?
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
What kind of circuit is a power bar?
a parallel circuit
In a parallel circuit does the power of each branch add up?
Yes, the total power dissipated through the circuit is equal to the sum of the power of each branch in a parallel circuit.
What happens if there is a break in a serious circuit?
A break in an electrical circuit will cause the circuit's load to stop operating.
Which switch opens the circuit on a tv?
The power on switch
What is a parallel circiut?
Something that contains a voltage circuit and wires.
Why a voltage only in parallel?
Depends on what circuit you're refering to, a parallel circuit has parallel lines because it allows for voltage to pass through the circuit, giving more power.
How do you recognized a parallel circuit?
power do4es not go out
Does power decrease when adding resistors in parallel circuit?
no
Is series or parallel circuit cheaper?
A parallel circuit is cheaper because it is simpler but it does carry less power than a circuit so your light will be less bright.
Why is the total power equals the sum of the individual values of power in a series circuit or a parallel circuit is used?
The total power equals the sum of the individual powers because power is the rate at which energy is supplied. Whether you have a series or parallel circuit, the total power comes from the power source.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit alike?
Both take current and energy from the power supply and dissipate power.
