For each individual branch, you can use Ohm's Law - just divide the voltage by the resistance.
the source voltage and the total impedanceAnswerA 'complex circuit' describes a category of circuit that is neither series, parallel, nor series-parallel. A relatively-simple example of a complex circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge. You cannot analyse or resolve a complex circuit using the techniques used to analyse and resolve series, parallel, or series-parallel circuit. Instead you must use one or other of the various electrical theorems. For example, to determine the currents flowing in a Wheatstone Bridge circuit, you could use Kirchhoff's Laws or Thevenin's Theorem.
A series circuit allows only one path for the electron path to follow. This type of circuit is found in something like Christmas tree lights. But a parallel circuit allows the 2 or more path for the electron path to follow. This is primarily used in households. So no, they are not the same electrons because they are two completely different circuits.
Yes, in accordance with Ohms law. Accross a given resistance, current will increase directly proportional to the increase in Voltage. Voltage(Volts) = Current (in Amps)x Resistance(in Ohms) You can transpose the formula to find the unknown, given 2 of the values.
The answer you need is found in "Ohms Law." It is expressed like this: Current = watts divided by volts Watts = Volts multiplied by current Volts = Watts divided by current. I recommend you look into the hobby of Amateur Radio and put your knowledge of electronics to a fun use. My wife and I are both 'hams' and love the hobby!
A DC voltage regulator gives a constant output voltage provided the input voltage is at least 1.5 v higher, up to a given limit. The input current is slightly more than the load current, because a small amoutn of current is needed for the voltage regulator circuit. Check the datasheet of the component which you are using to find the limits. 7805 IC can give upto 1A of current if there is adequete heatsinking.
Kirchhoff said that the sum of the currents leaving are the same as the current that entered. The current in any parallel branch depends on Ohms law. The voltage across the device divided by its' resistance equals the current.
Voltage will be same in all branches. Voltage= Current * Total Resistance
Ix = IT(Rp/Rx+Rp) where Ix is the current you are trying to find, IT is the total current, Rx is the resistor in question, Rp is/are the resistor(s) in parallel with the resistor in question.
In a parallel circuit, the same (supply) voltage will appear across each branch. So, in your example, 12 V will appear across each of the 24-ohm resistors. To find the current through each resistor, then, you simply divide the supply voltage by the value of that resistor. Since the supply current is the sum of the two branch currents, to find the supply current, you simply add together the currents passing through each resistor.
Current in a parallel circuit divides between the branches, depending on the relative impedance of each branch. Kirchoff's current law, which can be used to analyze that current, states simply that the sum of the currents entering and leaving a node, properly signed, always add up to zero.Current in a series circuit is the same at every point in the circuit. This is a consequence of Kirchoff's current law, because a node in a series circuit consists of only two conductors, and the sum of the currents at that node must be zero. By implication, then, all nodes in a series circuit must have the same current.Not asked, but discussed due to completeness, is Kirchoff's voltage law, which states that the signed sum of the voltage drops around a series circuit always add up to zero. A consequence of this is that the voltage across elements of a parallel circuit must be the same.
To calculate the total power in a parallel circuit, first determine the voltage across the circuit, which remains constant for all components. Then, find the current flowing through each branch using Ohm's Law (I = V/R) for each resistor. Finally, sum the power consumed by each branch using the formula ( P = V \times I ) for each branch, or simply use ( P_{\text{total}} = V \times I_{\text{total}} ), where ( I_{\text{total}} ) is the sum of the currents in each branch.
A parallel circuit is different in many ways from a series circuit: 1. In parallel, the voltage across all the devices connected is the same. 2. If a fault occurs in any device connected in parallel combo, then it has no effect on the operation of the other device. 3. In series circuit the current flowing through all the devices is the same while in case of the parallel one the voltage across all the devices is same.
The current divider rule is a technique used in electrical circuits to determine the current flowing through parallel branches. It states that the current through a branch is proportional to its resistance and inversely proportional to the total resistance of the parallel circuit. Conversely, the voltage divider rule is used to find the voltage across a component in a series circuit, where the voltage drop across a resistor is proportional to its resistance relative to the total resistance. Both rules facilitate the analysis of circuits by simplifying calculations for current and voltage distribution.
To calculate current flow in a parallel circuit with four resistors, first determine the equivalent resistance (R_eq) using the formula ( \frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} + \frac{1}{R_4} ). Once you find R_eq, apply Ohm's Law (V = I * R) to find the total current (I) flowing through the circuit by rearranging it to ( I = \frac{V}{R_{eq}} ). Finally, to find the current through each resistor, use the voltage across the parallel circuit and divide it by the individual resistor values.

Yes, it is possible to find the current through a branch or the voltage across a branch using wye-delta (Y-Δ) or delta-wye (Δ-Y) transformations in circuit analysis. These transformations allow you to convert between equivalent configurations of resistors, which can simplify the analysis of complex circuits. Once the circuit is simplified, standard techniques such as Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's laws can be applied to determine the desired current or voltage.
