What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?
Parallel circuit
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.
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 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.)
How many paths are there for current flow in series or parallel?
Series has one path. Parallel two or more paths.
Comparison of Counter-current flow and parallel flow?
Counter-current flow is more efficient then parallel flow. Shahzad, MUET Chemical Engineer
The Group of animals with the most efficient respiratory system?
Because of counter-current exchange, fish gills are the most efficient at gas exchange. This is followed by the continuous flow of bird lungs (due to their system of air-sacs). I don't know which animal exactly, but look to the fish for your answer.
What is the function of the counter current exchange system in the nephron loop?
It's something to do with the uterus... (I'm stumped)
Why is the cooling water in the liebig conden ser made to run counter current to the flow of the distillate?
Counter current cooling is the most efficient cooling because cold liquid interracts with a cooled down liquid at the outlet.
What is a current that travels near and parallel to the shore line?
A current that runs parallel to the shoreline is called a rip tide or rip current.
Why current gets divided in parallel combination but not in series combination?
Current travels in loops. In series you have one loop, or path for current to take. With parallel connections, there's at least two. This is why current divides in parallel and not in series.
What is exchange mechanism?
Penguins have a counter current heat exchange mechanism. The warm blood entering their flippers flows past cold blood leaving. This warms the cold blood and cools the warm blood thus reducing heat loss from the flippers.
How does increasing the number of cells in a parallel circuit affect the current?
by adding resistance in parallel more current is bound to flow
How the current flow in parallel connection?
In a parallel circuit, the current flow is independent in each branch.
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.
What is advantage of a parallel circuit?
Parallel circuits have a higher current and a lower resistance.
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.
