How parallel and series circuit different?
In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.
What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current has more than one path to follow?
A circuit that has more than one path for the current to flow is a parallel circuit. The circuit must have two or more paths to be considered parallel. A circuit that has only one current path through multiple components is a series circuit.
Differentiate parallel circuit and siries circuit?
If two circuit elements (e.g., two resistors) are in series (a series circuit), the current has to pass first through one, then through the other. If they are in parallel, the current has a choice, through which of the elements it passes.
In a parallel ac circuit is the current additive?
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 do resistance behave in parallel circuit?
in a parallel circuit resistance decreases increasing the current.
How parallel and series circuit different?
In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.
Why is it that the current flowing through a parallel circuit is the different in all parts of the circuit?
Because there is many path for flowing current through circuit.
What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?
Parallel circuit

Which branch in a parallel circuit has the least amount of current flow?
The least amount of current will flow through the branch of a parallel circuit that has the most resistance.
True or false The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual parallel sub-circuit?
True
What is a circuit with two or more pathways?
Generally, a circuit with multiple paths is called "parallel" because of the structure of the wiring involved. Parallel circuits have identical voltage on all paths, while current through each path is variable; whereas series circuits, having only one path, has constant current, but variable voltage.
What is a parralell curcuit?
• In a parallel circuit, there are junctions in the circuit so the current can flow around the circuit in more than one way. • In a series circuit the current decreases as more bulbs are added. •In a parallel circuit, as more bulbs are added, the current increases. • This is because bulbs added in parallel offer less resistance
How do resistance behave in parallel circuit?
in a parallel circuit resistance decreases increasing the current.
In any parallel circuit within a combination circuit the greater current will flow through the?
lowest resistance
