Delmars Combination Circuits 8
Combination circuit - correct answer ✔a circuit that contains both series and
parallel paths
Node - correct answer ✔a joining point where electric connections are made
Parallel Block - correct answer ✔a group of components connected in
parallel
Redraw - correct answer ✔to draw again
Reduce - correct answer ✔to make smaller or more compact
Simple parallel circuit - correct answer ✔a circuit that contains only elements
connected in parallel
Trace the current path - correct answer ✔tracing the path of current through
a circuit
rules for parallel circuits - correct answer ✔1. the total current flow is equal to
the sum of the currents through all the branches.
This rule is known as current adds
2. the voltage drop across any branch of a parallel circuit is the same as the
applied voltage.
3. The total resistance of a parallel circuit is always
less than the resistance of the lowest value resistor, or branch, in the circuit
