In a parallel circuit what is the total current equal to?

In all branches of a parallel circuit, it is voltage that is the same. Across each parallel branch of a circuit, we'll measure the same voltage. Probably the best example of equal voltages appearing across all branches of a parallel circuit is a household electrical distribution curcuit. The voltage at any outlet where you'd care to plug in an appliance or device will be the same. A fan plugged into an outlet in a bedroom will "feel" the same voltage as it would if it were in the living room and plugged into an outlet there.One other way to look at things like this is that each branch of the parallel circuit is connected across the voltage source. Each branch could be looked at as an "independent" circuit, and any given branch doesn't care what is happening in any other branch. Does turning that fan we mentioned on and off, or even unplugging it from the outlet affect the operation of, say, the refrigerator? No, it does not. Any device plugged into an outlet is connected "directly" to the source of voltage. And each parallel branch of the circuit will operate independently of any other branch. We know that the voltage in (or across) any branch of a parallel circuit is the same as the voltage across any other branch.


How do you find resistors in parallel?

Measure the voltage appearing across each resistor. If they are identical, and equal to the supply voltage, then the resistors are in parallel.


What is the allowable voltage drop for a branch ct?

The voltage drop in any branch (closed loop) of a series parallel circuit is equal to the APPLIED VOLTAGE(NOVANET) Without looking in my codebook, I believe it is 2% on a branch circuit.


What would be the voltage drop across two 25 resistors in parallel if the source voltage were equal to 9v?

The voltage would 9V minus any drop in the battery.


Why is The voltage across the empty socket is equal to the line voltage?

all the sockets are always connected in parallel,due to this the voltage across each soket is same. when any socket is open then there is no voltage loss..so the votage is same like line voltage.

What will be the resultant voltage across different voltage points connected in parallel?

The voltages appearing across each branch of a parallel circuit will be equal to the supply voltage.


How much voltage does each branch of a parallel circuit?

Yes. The voltage across every branch of a parallel circuit is the same. (It may not be the supply voltage, if there's another component between the power supply and either or both ends of the parallel circuit.)


In a parallel circuit with two branches the voltage is equal across both branches and the current?

In a parallel circuit with two branches, the voltage is the same across each branch and the current is divided between the branches. The total current entering the parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the currents in each branch.

How are circuits connected when you are using more than one battery?

The batteries can be connected in parallel or in series. In parallel, good batteries of the same voltage will have a total voltage across them equal to the voltage across one of them. Those batteries in series will have a total voltage equal to the sum of the voltage of each of the batteries.


Why is the voltage across a battery in a parallel circuit equal to the voltage across each bulb?

The voltage across a battery in a parallel circuit is equal to the voltage across each bulb because Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL) states that the signed sum of the voltages going around a series circuit adds up to zero. Each section of the parallel circuit, i.e. the battery and one bulb, constitutes a series circuit. By KVL, the voltage across the battery must be equal and opposite to the voltage across the bulb. Another way of thinking about this is to consider that the conductors joining the battery and bulbs effectively have zero ohms resistance. By Ohm's law, this means the voltage across the conductor is zero, which means the voltage across the bulb must be equal to the voltage across the battery and, of course, the same applies for all of the bulbs.


How does voltage and resistance behave in a series and a parallel circuit?

The current through each resistor is equal to the voltage across it divided by its resistance for series and parallel circuits.

What is the rule for voltage across each resistor?

The rule for voltage across each resistor in a series circuit is that the total voltage supplied by the source is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each resistor is the same and equal to the source voltage.


In a parallel circuit the voltage is across all branches?

the same In a parallel circuit, the voltage travels through all the closed circuit paths. They are not branches.
