Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the total current in a circuit with two branches, one carrying 3A and the other 5A? (2021)
  • Step 1: Identify the two branches of the circuit. One branch has a current of 3A and the other branch has a current of 5A.
  • Step 2: Understand that in a parallel circuit, the total current is found by adding the currents from each branch together.
  • Step 3: Add the currents: 3A + 5A.
  • Step 4: Calculate the sum: 3A + 5A = 8A.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the total current in the circuit is 8A.
