Yes

In parallel circuit , current entering into the circuit will be divided intodifferent paths ( resistances) . Amount of current flow depends upon the magnitude of resistance applied in the circuit. Total current after passing through the circuit will be the sum of all current through each resistance.

How are current and voltage related to the power supplied by the source?

in ac circuits power,P=VICOS@ @ is the angle between voltage and current. in dc P=VI V is the voltage I is the current. Power (in Watts) is current (A) x voltage (V)


What is the significance of using inductor in ac circuit?

Current filtering


What cause the voltage t lead current in an ac circuit?

Voltage leads current or, more specifically current lags voltage, in an inductive circuit. This is because an inductor resists a change in current.


What is the difference between DC and AC?

The primary difference between DC and AC is the direction of current flow. In a DC circuit, all electron current flow is in one direction. In an AC circuit, current flows in one direction for part of the time, and in another direction for another part of the time. In the AC circuit, we'll see current flowing "back and forth" instead of the unidirectional current flow we find in a DC circuit.DC is "Direct Current", and AC is "Alternating Current". In DC, the current flow is in one direction only. In AC, the current flow is constantly changing direction.An example of DC is the output of a battery. An example of AC is the power present in a home electrical system.The current whose magnitude and direction remains change called as alternating current.The current whose magnitude and direction remain unchanged called as d.c. Current.


How a multimeter be connected in order to measure resistance?

A: A multimeter is an instrument design to measure ohms volts and amps. So to measure amps a shunt is provided to allow a sample of the current to be measured as a function of voltage.
