Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the total current in a parallel circuit if more branches are added? (2023)
  • 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, you create more paths for the electricity to flow through.
  • Step 4: Each new branch allows more current to flow because the total current is the sum of the currents in all branches.
  • Step 5: Therefore, when you add more branches, the total current in the circuit increases.
