Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the total current in a parallel circuit if one branch is removed? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand that a parallel circuit has multiple branches where current can flow.
  • Step 2: Know that the total current in a parallel circuit is the sum of the currents in all branches.
  • Step 3: When one branch is removed, the current that was flowing through that branch stops.
  • Step 4: Since the total current is the sum of the currents in all branches, removing one branch means the total current decreases.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the total current in the circuit is now less than it was before the branch was removed.
