series and parallel resistors
In a parallel circuit with a voltage source and several branch resistors, how is the total current related to the current in the branch resistors?
-
Correct AnswerIt equals the sum of the branch current through each resistor
-
It equals the average of the branch current through each resistor
-
It decreases as more parallel resistors are added to the circuit
-
It is the sum of each resistor's voltage drop multiplied by the total number ofresistors

A 6 volt battery is connected across three resistances of connected in parallel.
-
Correct AnswerThe current through the 10 ohms, 15 ohms and 20 ohms separate resistances, when added together, equals the total current drawn from the battery
-
The current flowing through the 10 ohm resistance is less than that flowing through the 20 ohm resistance
-
The voltage drop across each resistance added together equals 6 volts
-
The voltage drop across the 20 ohm resistance is greater than the voltage across the 10 ohm resistance
