What happens to voltage and current in a parallel circuit?
-- The voltage between the ends of each parallel branch is the same. -- The current through each parallel branch is inversely proportional to the resistance of that branch. (It's the voltage divided by the resistance of the 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.
What happens in a parallel circuit when one battery is added?
When a battery is added to a parallel circuit, the total voltage in the circuit increases as the new battery adds its voltage to the existing voltage sources. The total current in the circuit may also increase as the additional voltage motivates the charges to flow through the parallel branches of the circuit.
What happens to current in a parallel circuit?
in a parallel circuit, current get divided among the parallel branches in a manner so that the product of current and the resistance of each branch becomes same. The sum of the current in each branch is equal to the total current of the circuit.
How does current work in a parallel circuit and what are its implications for the overall circuit behavior?
In a parallel circuit, current flows through multiple branches simultaneously. Each branch offers a separate path for the current to travel. This means that the total current in the circuit is divided among the branches based on their resistance. The implications of this are that devices connected in parallel receive the full voltage of the circuit, and if one branch is disrupted, the other branches can still function independently.
How do parallel circuits use current and voltage?
Kirchoff's voltage law: In a series circuit, the signed sum of the voltage drops around the circuit add up to zero. Since a parallel circuit (just the two components of the parallel circuit) also represents a series circuit, this means that the voltage across two elements in parallel must be the same.Kirchoff's current law: The signed sum of the currents entering a node is zero. In a series circuit, this means that the current at every point in that circuit is equal. In a parallel circuit, the currents entering that portion of the circuit divide, but the sum of those divided currents is equal to the current supplying them.

One that has two of more branches for separate current from one voltage source?
That's a Parallel circuit.

Why does the same voltage run through all the branches of a parallel circuit irrelevant of the different resistance appliances on those branches?
The same voltage is present but does not run. It is the current that could be described as "runniing" through the different branches. Just by definition, parallel circuits necessarily have the same voltage. It is architecture of the circuit.
In which circuit is the voltage the same across all branches?
Parallel circuit.

How many circuits in the parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit, there are two or more branches connected to the voltage source, providing multiple paths for the current to flow. Each branch forms a separate circuit, but they share the same voltage source.
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.)
What is the voltage drop running through the parallel?
The voltage drop is the same through each of the parallel branches.
