Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a parallel circuit, if one branch is removed, what happens to the total current?
  • Step 1: Understand what a parallel circuit is. In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for current to flow.
  • Step 2: Know that each branch in a parallel circuit can carry its own current.
  • Step 3: Realize that the total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents flowing through all the branches.
  • Step 4: If one branch is removed, that means the current that was flowing through that branch is no longer there.
  • Step 5: Since the total current is the sum of the currents in all branches, removing one branch means you have one less current to add to the total.
  • Step 6: Therefore, the total current in the circuit decreases when one branch is removed.
