DelMars Electricity Unit 7 Parallel
Circuits
Circuit Branch - correct answer ✔A point in an electric circuit where current
can flow in more than one direction.
Current Dividers - correct answer ✔A circuit that is constructed to produce a
specific amount of current flow through a branch.
Load - correct answer ✔The power consumed by a piece of equipment or a
circuit while performing its function.
Parallel Circuits - correct answer ✔Circuits that contain more than one path
for current flow.
Current in a parallel circuit - correct answer ✔The total current flow in the
circuit is equal to the sum of the currents through all branches.
Voltage in a parallel circuit - correct answer ✔The voltage drop across any
branch of a parallel circuit is the same as the applied voltage.
Resistance in a parallel circuit - correct answer ✔The total resistance of a
parallel circuit is less than the resistance of the lowest value resistor or branch
in the circuit.
Total resistance formula in a parallel circuit - correct answer ✔RT=
1/(1/R1+1/R2+1/R3)
Total voltage formula in a parallel circuit - correct answer ✔ET= E1= E2= E3
