PARALLEL
CIRCUITS - RULES |
|
The rules for a parallel circuit can
be summarized as:
The same voltage exists across each branch of a parallel circuit and
is equal to the source voltage.
The current through a branch of a parallel network is inversely proportional
to the amount of resistance of the branch.
The total current of a parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the
individual branch currents of the circuit.
The total power consumed in a parallel circuit is equal to the sum
of the power consumptions of the individual resistances. |
