How the current flow in parallel connection?
In a parallel circuit, the current flow is independent in each branch.
How many paths can a current take in a parallel circuit?
At least two.

When you short out a resistor in a parallel circuit why does the current lower?
The total resistance of a set of resistors in parallel is found by adding up the reciprocals of the resistance values, and then taking the reciprocal of the total. By removing a resistor the total current will lower. If you short out the parallel circuit as suggested it will take out the fuse that should be protecting the circuit.AnswerShorting-out a resistor in a parallel circuit, will act to short out the entire circuit, therefore, significantly increasing, not lowering, the current! And, as the previous answer indicates, this short-circuit current will operate any protective devices, such as a fuse.In a parallel circuit current does not lower but it will be increase if shorting-out one resistor in the two resistor parallel circuit, the circuit will become very low resistive and the larger current will flow through the short path.
What happens to the current at a junction in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the current divides when it comes to a junction. Part of the current flows through one branch and the other part flows through the other.When the two branches have the same resistance, the same current flows through each branch.When the two branches have different resistances, a bigger current flows through the branch with the smaller resistance - it's just easier this way!Hope i helped ;)
Do parallel cables of the same length carry the same current?
yes in case the two cables have same resistance
Can you connect two 3 phase feed cables in parallel to one circuit breaker and if so what will the total output current be?
The answer to the first part of your question is yes but the wire size has to be of a size specified in the electrical code for wires connected in parallel. As for the second part of the question the total current output is governed by the current draw of the load. It is the load current that governs the parallel wire size and the trip capacity of the breaker.
What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?
Parallel circuit
How the current flow in parallel connection?
In a parallel circuit, the current flow is independent in each branch.
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.
Would two AA batteries in parallel do as much work as one D battery?
Both AA and D batteries are 1½ volts. A D battery is used where more current is required - it can deliver more power for longer. For typical batteries with alkaline chemistry: The typical capacity of a D battery is 12000 to 18000 mAh. The typical capacity of an AA battery is 1200 to 2500 mAh. Two AA batteries in parallel will supply twice their current rating, about 2400 to 5000 mAh. You would need 8 to 10 AA batteries in parallel to supply the current of a D battery.
When 2 alternators are connected in parallel what is the resultant terminal voltage of the two alternators?
Since the alternators are in parallel, the resultant voltage should be the same as either alternator - exactly as it would be if two batteries are connected in parallel. Voltage remains the same but current capacity is doubled. I would recommend connecting the alternators through a network that will balance the load between them.
How many circuits in the parallel circuit?
parallel circuit - a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths.The circuits in a parallel circuits there are two or more circuits.
Can current increased from two battery connections?
Two batteries can supply more current than one if they are connected in parallel.
How many paths are there for current flow in series or parallel?
Series has one path. Parallel two or more paths.
What is the name for an electrical current that flows in two directions?
parallel circuit
How many paths can a current take in a parallel circuit?
At least two.
