Which branch in a parallel circuit has the least amount of current flow?
The least amount of current will flow through the branch of a parallel circuit that has the most resistance.
The branch in a parallel circuit with the what will have the least amount of current flow?

What does the amount of current flowing in each branch of a parallel circuit depend on?
It depends on the resistance (or impedance) of that branch alone.
How can you identify the branch parallel circuit with the what will have the least amount of current flow?
In a DC circuit, it's the branch with the largest resistance. In an AC circuit, it's the branch with the largest magnitude of impedance.
what happens to current in a 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 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 type of an electrical circuit has more than one current branch?
A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit that has more than one current branch.
The amount of current that flows in a parallel circuit branch depends on the what?
... the voltage of the power supply and the resistance of that branch alone.
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 is the total current in a parallel circuit worked out?
You add up the currents in each branch. The current in each branch is just (voltage acrossd the parallel circuit)/(resistance of that branch) . ==================================== If you'd rather do it the more elegant way, then . . . -- Write down the reciprocal of the resistance of each branch. -- Add up the reciprocals. -- Take the reciprocal of the sum. The number you have now is the 'effective' resistance of the parallel circuit ... the single resistance that it looks like electrically. -- The total current through the parallel circuit is (voltage acrossd the parallel circuit)/(effective resistace of the parallel circuit) .
How the current flow in parallel connection?
In a parallel circuit, the current flow is independent in each branch.
What happens to voltage and current in a parallel circuit?
-- 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.)
