Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the total current in a parallel circuit with two branches carrying 3 A and 5 A?
  • Step 1: Identify the currents in each branch of the parallel circuit. In this case, we have 3 A in one branch and 5 A in another branch.
  • Step 2: Use the formula for total current in a parallel circuit, which is I_total = I1 + I2.
  • Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula: I_total = 3 A + 5 A.
  • Step 4: Calculate the total current: 3 A + 5 A = 8 A.
