What is the current in a circuit with 9 volts 3 ohms 2 ohms and 4 ohms?
The current in the circuit will depend on how the three resistors are wired. Series? Parallel? Series parallel? With the resistors in series, 3, 2 and 4 ohms will add to 9 ohms. As I = E/R, I = 9 V / 9 ohms = 1 A. With the resistors in parallel, the 3, 2 and 4 ohm resistors will draw 3 A, 4.5 A and 2.25 A respectively, and the total current will be the sum of the branch currents, or 3 A + 4.5 A + 2.25 A = 9.75 A. There are 3 different series parallel circuits possible, and more investigation will be necessary to solve for them.
Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on different branches?
Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.
How the current flow in parallel connection?
In a parallel circuit, the current flow is independent in each branch.
In parallel circuit-what happens to the total resistance if one branch opens-Provide an example?
Increases
What is an example of a parallel series circuit in your home?
Two receptacles on a branch circuit, each in parallel, both in series with the circuit breaker. The blower motor, ignition transformer, and oil solenoid on an oil burner, each in parallel, all in series with the acquastat (water temperature control switch).
Can each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors?
Yes, but then it would be a 'series-parallel' circuit, not a 'parallel' circuit!
Does a parallel circuit have different pathways for electrons to travel?
Yes, a parallel circuit has multiple pathways for electrons to travel. Each branch of the circuit has its own set of components (such as resistors or bulbs) connected in parallel to the power source. This configuration allows some current to flow through each branch independently.
Three 15 ohm resistors are connected in parallel to a 30 volt battery What is the current through each branch of the circuit?
2 amps
What is the result when a branch of a parallel circuit has an open circuit?
When a branch of a parallel circuit has an open circuit, it breaks the loop and prevents current from flowing through that particular branch. The other branches of the parallel circuit will continue to operate as normal, as they are unaffected by the open circuit in the specific branch.
What is the same in each branch of a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same.
Does more current flow through a parallel circuit than a series circuit?
Two resistors in parallel are equivalent to a single component with a lower resistance than either of the pair. Two resistors in series are equivalent to a single component with a resistance equal to the sum of the pair, therefore a higher resistance. For a given potential difference, more current in total will flow through two resistors in parallel than through the same resistors in series.
Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on separate branches?
Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.
How do the partial current behave in relation to the corresponding resistance value for parallel circuiting of resistors?
The ratio of current flow through individual branches of a parallel circuit is inversely proportional to the ratio of resistance of each branch.

What quantity varies place to place in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit, the current flowing through each branch varies from place to place because the total current splits up and takes different paths. Voltage remains the same across all branches in a parallel circuit.
In a parallel circuit does the power of each branch add up?
Yes, the total power dissipated through the circuit is equal to the sum of the power of each branch in a parallel circuit.
In a parallel circuit a parallel branch is uaually called a what?
It's usually referred to as one leg of the circuit.
