Parallel Circuits

Question 1

In a truly parallel circuit, generally each loop will only contain a single ______. That means if any particular ______ breaks, it still means the overall circuit is still intact

Answer 1

component, component

Question 2

In a parallel circuit, how is voltage distributed?

Answer 2

Each component receives the full source of potential difference

Question 3

In a parallel circuit, how is current distributed?

Answer 3

It is shared between the components

Question 4

In a parallel circuit, loops that have a ________ resistance will take a ______ share of current

Answer 4

higher, lower

Question 5

Calculating total resistance in parallel circuit

Answer 5

1/Total Resistance = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3….

OR SIMPLY

Rec. of Total Resistance = Addition of individual rec. resistances
