In a parallel ac circuit is the current additive?
Yes In parallel circuit , current entering into the circuit will be divided intodifferent paths ( resistances) . Amount of current flow depends upon the magnitude of resistance applied in the circuit. Total current after passing through the circuit will be the sum of all current through each resistance.
Why does not it matter where you measure the current in a simple circuit?
The current measured at any point in a simple circuit will be the same because current is the measure of electron flow through a circuit. The current flowing through any branch of any circuit (or an entire simple circuit) will always be the same at any point.
Differentiate parallel circuit and siries circuit?
If two circuit elements (e.g., two resistors) are in series (a series circuit), the current has to pass first through one, then through the other. If they are in parallel, the current has a choice, through which of the elements it passes.
How parallel and series circuit different?
In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.
What measures the volume of electrons through a circuit?
Current measures the flow of electrons through a circuit and voltage basically measure the amount of available electrons.
What is instateneuos current?
That is the rate of current flow through a circuit at a particular point in time.
How does a switch control a parallel circuit?
The same as in any other circuit - in the case of a parallel circuit, the switch will either allow or not allow current to pass through one particular branch.
What is a closed path through which current can flow?
A closed path through which a current can flow is called a circuit. Electric Circuit:)
Why is it that the current flowing through a parallel circuit is the different in all parts of the circuit?
Because there is many path for flowing current through circuit.
What is the continuous loop that an electric current flows through?
DC = direct current.
What flows through a complete circuit?
Current flows through a complete circuit.

What is the electric circuit where current flows through all parts of the circuit?
complex circuit
What kind of circuit allows a current to flow through it?
Closed circuit
Does the induced emf in a circuit depend on the resistence of the circuit?
No. But the current through it does.
What device used to open a circuit if too much current flows through it?
A circuit breaker is a device used to open a circuit if too much current flows through it.
