AnswerFalse. The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as THE SUM OF THE CURRENTS that flow through each individual parallel sub circuits.

Another Answer
The statement is correct, and is summarised as 'Kirchhoff's Current Law'.

∙ 13y agoNo. The voltage is the same across all branches of a parallel circuit. The currents through
the various branches are in inverse proportion to their resistances.

What is a parallel series?
There are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.As its name suggests, a 'series-parallel' circuit is a combination of both series and parallel elements.
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.
What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?
Parallel circuit
What is parallel curcuit?
A parallel circuit is a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit.
Which branch in a parallel circuit has the least amount of current flow?
The least amount of current will flow through the branch of a parallel circuit that has the most resistance.

Individual components in a parallel circuit experience the same?
Voltage
4 How do you determine current in a parallel DC circuit?
The current in each individual component of the parallel circuit is equal to (voltage across the combined group of parallel components) / (individual component's resistance). The total current is the sum of the individual currents. ============================== Another approach is to first calculate the combined effective resistance of the group of parallel components. -- take the reciprocal of each individual resistance -- add all the reciprocals -- the combined effective resistance is the reciprocal of the sum. Then, the total current through the parallel circuit is (voltage across the parallel circuit) / (combined effective resistance of the components).
How is a total current in a parallel circuit worked out?
sum the individual branch currents
Is An open in the main line of a parallel circuit causes all individual branch currents to be zero?
Yes, an open in main line of a parallel circuit will effect the entire circuit current and make the whole circuit current zero
True or false The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual parallel sub-circuit?
True

Parallel circuit
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.
Is the current the same everywhere in the parallel circuit?
No. The current in a series circuit is the same everywhere. The voltage across a parallel circuit is the same.
How parallel and series circuit different?
In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.
What are the relations between individual voltages and the total voltages when resistors are connected in series and in parallel?
-- The current in each individual resistor is (voltage across the whole circuit) divided by (the resistance of the individual resistor). -- The current in any individual resistor is less than the total current in the circuit. -- The total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents through each individual resistor.
