| PARALLEL CIRCUITS - CURRENT | ||
The behavior of current in parallel circuits will be shown by a series of illustrations using example circuits with different values of resistance for a given value of applied voltage. Part (A) of this figure shows a basic series circuit. Here, the total current must pass through the single resistor. The amount of current through R1 is easily determined as 5 amps by simply inserting the circuit values of Source Voltage (ES), and Resistance (R1) into the Ohms law equation: I = E/R. |
