What else can I help you with?
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.)
Is it true that a branch point in a parallel circuit is a place where the current divides?
Yes, a branch point in a parallel circuit is where the current divides and flows through the different branches of the circuit. Each branch will have its own current value depending on the resistance of that particular branch.
How can you tell if a circuit is parallel?
You can identify that a circuit is parallel by checking to see how many paths it can take. If it only has one path then it is a series circuit. If it is a parallel circuit it can have several paths.
Describe the proper placement of a voltmeter in a circuit?
To measure voltage in a circuit, the voltmeter should be connected in parallel across the component or portion of the circuit where the voltage is to be measured. Ensure the voltmeter is set to the appropriate voltage range before making the connection. It is important to place the voltmeter correctly to obtain an accurate voltage reading without affecting the circuit's operation.
What is a parallel electric circuit?
A parallel electrical circuit is a circuit coming from the same place as another circuit but that runs alongside of the first circuit. This is a poor analogy, but the best I could do on the spur of the moment If two or more cars enter the freeway at the same spot and stay in the same lane they are a series circuit. If one car pulls out and runs beside the second car, they are a parallel circuit. The lanes represent different wires, and the cars represent the current traveling through the wire(s). In a series circuit the total current runs through each device, In a parallel circuit the current divides , and each part runs through a different device, or wire.
Why is a parallel circuit better than series?
Neither is superior. Both a series and a parallel circuit have their place.
Why are variables used in expressions?
They take the place of an unknown quantity. They can change values, thus they are called variables, their quantity varies.
Where ammeter and voltmeter are put in circuit?
Place in parallel anywhere in the circuit. One lead goes to the hot, the other to the neutral.
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.)
Is resistance box connected in series or parallel?
It depends on what you want to accomplish. If you want to decrease the resistance in a circuit, you would place the box in parallel to some other resistor. If you want to increase the resistance in a circuit, you would place the box in series.
What happen when a ammeter is placed in parallel with the circuit?
If an ammeter is placed in parallel with a a load on a circuit, the circuit can short out as the ammeter takes the place of the load, flowing freely through the meter. Never measure across a resister or other electronic load with an ammeter. Remember, ammeters are used in series while voltmeters are used in parallel.
Is it true that a branch point in a parallel circuit is a place where the current divides?
Yes, a branch point in a parallel circuit is where the current divides and flows through the different branches of the circuit. Each branch will have its own current value depending on the resistance of that particular branch.
What happens to the total resistance in a parallel circuit with a short?
In case of parallel circuit the effective resistance is given by Reff = R1*R2*R3 /(R1R2 +R2R3 +R3R1) As short circuit takes place then anyone R1,R2,R3 becomes zero. Hence Reff becomes zero.
How can you tell if a circuit is parallel?
You can identify that a circuit is parallel by checking to see how many paths it can take. If it only has one path then it is a series circuit. If it is a parallel circuit it can have several paths.

Should an ammeter always be connected in parallel with a component?
No, an ammeter should never be placed in parallel with a component - it should always be placed in series, so that the current through the component is measured.If you place an ammeter in parallel with a component, you create a short circuit around the component. Depending on the rest of the circuit, you could damage the circuit, damage the ammeter, create a fire, etc. You certainly will affect the current through the component, and that is not what you want to accomplish.
What is the difference between a internal and external circuit?
A data bus connects different parts of a circuit and comprises a group of parallel wires, each one carrying a different logic signal.
