What is the total current in a parallel circuit with two branches, one with 5A and the other with 3A? (2022)
  • Step 1: Identify the current in each branch of the parallel circuit. In this case, one branch has 5A and the other branch has 3A.
  • Step 2: Use the formula for total current in a parallel circuit, which is Total Current = Current in Branch 1 + Current in Branch 2.
  • Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula: Total Current = 5A + 3A.
  • Step 4: Perform the addition: 5A + 3A = 8A.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the total current in the parallel circuit is 8A.
