Why are parallel circuits considered current dividers?
They divide the electrons between different branches of the circuit.
A type of circuit in which current can branch off?
In a parallel circuit, current is divided between each of the 'branches', according to their resistance.
What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?
Parallel circuit
What is difference between seiries curcuits and parallel circuits?
A: In a series circuit the current remains the same In a parallel circuit the current may divide to satisfy the branches of the loads,
What do you mean by resultant current?
The sharing of current between different components in an AC circuit
What is different between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit there are multiple possible pathways for the current to flow.
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.
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.
What is the difference between parelllel and series circuit?
A parallel circuit has the same voltage but different current in each leg and series circuit has the same current but different voltage on each components unless the same value.
What is the device designed to detects different in current between circuit wires?
Multimeter.
Explain how the amount of current that flows out of the battery is related to the amount of current in the branches of the circuit?
Kirchoff's Current Law: The signed sum of the currents entering a node is equal to zero. This means that the current leaving the battery is equal to the sum of the currents in the branches of the circuit.
Why is there no effect on other branches in a parallel circuit when one branch of the circuit is opened or closed?
this is because the energy can still flow through the other branches.
