What is a parallel circit?
A closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit. The voltage remains the same throughout the circuit.
What is a connection that allows current to take the path of least resistant?
Current will tend to take the path of least resistance in any case. That's its nature. A short circuit (or "short") is a low resistance current path that current will follow if it appears.
What are the parts of parallel circuit?
Simple parts of a circuit are switches, light bulb, battery and connecting wires.
What is a circuit with more than one path to flow?
All the branch circuits in your house are parallel. They have a constant voltage applied to any device plugged into an outlet. If you thought about an analogy for a parallel circuit, imagine that the rails on each side of rungs represented the hot and neutral wires of a typical household branch circuit. The rungs would be the loads connected in parallel. Each "load" draws the current needed to operate the specific device. The sum of all the currents for the "loads" is equal to the total current being supplied through the circuit.
What happens to voltage when resistance increases?
Ohm's law states that "The current is directly proportional to the applied EMF (voltage) and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit." <<>> if resistor exists, resistance decreases according to ohm's law, current is directly proportional to voltage and current is inversely proportional to resistance it means as current increases, voltage increases. resistance increases, current decreases so as voltage if there is no resistor, there should be no resistance except internal resistance of voltmeter and ammeter
Do aparallel circuit contanins two or more electrical paths for current to flow?
yes
What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current has more than one path to follow?
A circuit that has more than one path for the current to flow is a parallel circuit. The circuit must have two or more paths to be considered parallel. A circuit that has only one current path through multiple components is a series circuit.
Why does electrical current flow along a single path in a series circuit and more than one path in a parallel circuit?
Because there is only a single path in series circuit and many paths in parallel circuit.
How many paths can the current in circuit B?
That really depends on how the circuit is designed.
How many paths can the current takes in circuit B?
That really depends on how the circuit is designed.
How many paths are there for current flow in a series circuit?
one
How parallel and series circuit different?
In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.
What is a circuit loop?
A closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit.
How many paths can a current take in a parallel circuit?
At least two.
What paths can electricity take through a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
electricity take every possible path which follow closed path across its source.AnswerIn a series circuit, there is only one path for current to flow; the same current passes through each component.In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths called 'branches', and the sum of the individual branch currents is equal to the current drawn from the supply.
Differentiate a parallel from a series connection?
DATA WILL BE SENT IN DUAL YET IN SERIES DATA WILL BE SENT IN ASINGLE LINE
What is a circuit with several current paths whose total current equals the sum of the currents in its branches?
This is a parallel circuit, each of the parallel current paths draws a certain current, and the input current equals the output current, so the sum of all current through each path has to equal the total current.
