How do you find the branch current in parallel circuit?
For each individual branch, you can use Ohm's Law - just divide the voltage by the resistance.
What would be the effect of adding a load in parallel to a parallel circuit?
Ohm's Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance With constant voltage, an increase in resistance decreases the current. Now the load can be added in two basic ways. If the load is added in series the resistance will increase. If you add load in parallel the resistance will decrease and the current will increase from the source.
Is the current in one branch of a parallel circuit more than less than or equal to the total current?
its less then the total current
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 is the relationship between the current leaving the source and the current through each load in a parallel circuit?
You should study up on Kirchov's Current Law (KCL). It is the means of answering your question and a tool for understanding all parallel circuit configurations.AnswerKirchhoff's current law will tell you that the supply current is equal to the sum of the branch currents.
How can convert voltage source into current source?
Take the internal series resistance of the voltage source and make it the internal parallel resistance of the current source. Then compute using Ohm's law the current of the current source to be equal to the maximum current the original voltage source could supply a short circuit load. Note: the two sources are equivalent.
When outward current and inward current are equal?
A: The answer is always. What goes out of a source of power the same power will return
Is the current in one branch of a parallel circuit more than less than or equal to the total current entering the junction point of the circuit?
Answer: less. Answer: Kirchhoff's Current Law states that the sum of all currents into a junction (or out of a junction) must be zero. This refers to the algebraic some, that is, if you consider the current into the junction, any current entering the junction will be counted as positive, while any current leaving the junction will be counted as negative. Thus, any individual current will be equal to the negative of the sum of all the other branches at the junction.
Why internal resistance of an ideal voltage source is zero and an ideal current source is infinty?
Current source means current generator for a circuit. An ideal current source gives all current to the circuit, but practically a current source does n't give all current to the circuit, instead, a source resistor is connected in parallel to the current source to indicate the current drop.
How does adding devices in parallel affect the current flowing in the circuit?
It divides the current according to the resistances ( inversely proportional) of the devices but the potential difference across each remains the same.AnswerEach branch draws its own current. The sum of the branch currents will equal the supply current. Adding another branch will act to increase the supply current by the amount of current drawn by the new branch.It's a mistake to say that the branches 'divide the current', which suggests that the supply current is constant and is then distributed between the branches.
When two resistors are conected in parallel what happens to the current as it passes through the circuit?
According to Kirchhoff's Current Law, the sum of the individual branch currents must be equal to the total current before (and after) it branches.
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.
