Adding additional branches will have no effect on the operation of any of the other branches, but the overall supply voltage will increase by the amount drawn by the additional loads.

How to calculate a parallel circuit with more than one load in its branches?

If a 'parallel' circuit has more than one load in its (not "it's"!) branches, then it is not a parallel circuit, but a series-parallel circuit! To resolve the circuit, you must first resolve the total resistance of the loads within each branch.


What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?

Parallel circuit


A circuit that has two or more branches for electrons to follow is a?

parallel circuit.


Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on separate branches?

Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.


What type of circuit has more than one circuit on a wire a series circuit or a parallel circuit?

A parallel circuit is :)


What happens to the total current provided by the battery as more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit?

The total current provided by the battery increases as more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit. This is because each branch in a parallel circuit receives the full voltage of the battery, leading to more current flowing through each branch as more loads (bulbs) are added.


What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current has more than one path to follow?

A circuit that has more than one path for the current to flow is a parallel circuit. The circuit must have two or more paths to be considered parallel. A circuit that has only one current path through multiple components is a series circuit.


What happens if you add more loads to a series circuit?

When you have multiple loads in a series, the resistance of the loads is added together allowing very little current to flow through the circuit to power any of the loads, making for a low amperage circuit. If you have your loads in parellel, the resistance of the loads in the circuit is subtracted which allows more current to flow, making for a high amperage circuit.


What is a circuit with more than one path to flow?

All the branch circuits in your house are parallel. They have a constant voltage applied to any device plugged into an outlet. If you thought about an analogy for a parallel circuit, imagine that the rails on each side of rungs represented the hot and neutral wires of a typical household branch circuit. The rungs would be the loads connected in parallel. Each "load" draws the current needed to operate the specific device. The sum of all the currents for the "loads" is equal to the total current being supplied through the circuit.


What type of circuit is one in which all loads are connected in a single loop-?

That is described as a circuit in series, as opposed to a circuit in parallel, in which there is more than one loop.


What happens if you add more loads to a series?

When you have multiple loads in a series, the resistance of the loads is added together allowing very little current to flow through the circuit to power any of the loads, making for a low amperage circuit. If you have your loads in parellel, the resistance of the loads in the circuit is subtracted which allows more current to flow, making for a high amperage circuit.


What is the key difference between a parallel circuit and a series circuit?

A series circuit pretty much runs in one direction, with each item which uses a load on that circuit one after another in a series. Should one load go out (a lamp, for example) then the entire series is defunct. A parallel circuit has more than one way to run, has a parallel or tandem circuit, so that if one load (our lamp, again) should fail, the electricity has another path (or more) to get to other loads on the circuit.
