-- The voltage between the ends of each parallel branch is the same.
-- The current through each parallel branch is inversely proportional to the resistance
of that branch. (It's the voltage divided by the resistance of the branch.)

What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?
That has no effect on the resistance. The current doubles also.
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 happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.
What happens to voltage in a parallel circuit?
Voltage can be divided by a voltage divider, also known as a potential divider. Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculations:voltage divider (potentiometer) - damping pad - loaded and open circuit (unloaded) - voltage drop at the voltage divider"
What happens if current flows through 2 parallel current in the same direction?
With the possible exception of some circuits that have inductance and capacitance in parallel and are excited by a pulse or an alternating voltage, the currents in two parallel branches of a circuit are ALWAYS in the same direction.
If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?
In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.
What happens to electrical current and voltage in a parallel circuit as you add more bulbs?
Voltage remains constant; current increases.
What happens to a parallel circuit resistance if the voltage applied is doubled?
That has no effect on the resistance. The current doubles also.
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.
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.
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.
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 happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.
What happens if a light blows in a parallel circuit?
The rest of the lights in the system will remain illuminated. Except in that branch of the circuit. The parallel branch(s) get more current if the voltage potential remains the same.
What is voltage error circuit and current error circuit?
A voltage error circuit is called an error amplifier and happens when there are discrepancies between the voltage output and the reference voltage. A current error circuit happens when there is a disruption of flow in an ammeter.
What happens to voltages and currents when there are passive elements connected in series and in parallel?
In a series circuit the current flow in each element is equal but voltage across the each element is differ. In a parallel circuit the voltage across the each element is equal but current flow in each element is differ.
What is another name for a series -parallel circuit?
series other name current series and parallel is voltage
