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 happens when a part of a parallel circuit is disconnected?

current decreases and resistance increases


What happens to the current in a parallel circuit when more bulbs are added?

When more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit, the total current in the circuit increases because each bulb provides an additional path for current to flow. This is because in a parallel circuit, the current is divided amongst the branches, so adding more branches (bulbs) will increase the total current.


If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?

In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.


What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?

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.


What happens to electrical current and voltage in a parallel circuit as you add more bulbs?

Voltage remains constant; current increases.


What happens if the switch is open in a parallel circuit?

If the switch in a parallel circuit is open, it breaks the circuit and interrupts the flow of current for that particular branch. The other branches in the parallel circuit remain unaffected and continue to operate independently.


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.


What happens when more branches are added to a parallel circuit?

Adding more branches to a parallel circuit decreases the overall resistance of the circuit. This leads to an increase in the total current flowing through the circuit as each branch provides an additional pathway for the current to flow. This results in a decrease in the total resistance and an increase in the overall current of the circuit.


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.
