Q: What happens to the total current in a parallel circuit if one branch is disconnected? (2023)
Solution:
In a parallel circuit, if one branch is disconnected, the total current decreases.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a parallel circuit is. In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for the current to flow.
Step 2: Know that the total current in a parallel circuit is the sum of the currents flowing through each branch.
Step 3: If one branch is disconnected, that path for current is removed.
Step 4: Since the total current is the sum of the currents in all branches, removing one branch means there is less current flowing overall.
Step 5: Therefore, the total current in the circuit decreases when one branch is disconnected.
