Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a parallel circuit, what is the total current if the branch currents are 2A, 3A, and 5A?
Correct Answer: 10A
  • Step 1: Identify the branch currents in the parallel circuit. In this case, the branch currents are 2A, 3A, and 5A.
  • Step 2: To find the total current in a parallel circuit, you need to add all the branch currents together.
  • Step 3: Add the first branch current (2A) to the second branch current (3A). This gives you 2A + 3A = 5A.
  • Step 4: Now, take the result from Step 3 (5A) and add the third branch current (5A) to it. So, 5A + 5A = 10A.
  • Step 5: The total current in the parallel circuit is 10A.
