Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the total current in a parallel circuit when more branches are added? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand what a parallel circuit is. In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for electricity to flow.
  • Step 2: Know that each branch in a parallel circuit can carry its own current.
  • Step 3: When you add more branches to the circuit, each new branch allows more paths for the electricity to flow.
  • Step 4: Since electricity can flow through more paths, the total current in the circuit increases.
  • Step 5: Remember that the total current is the sum of the currents in all the branches.
