The current through any branch of a parallel circuit_________
A) is directly proportional to the branch resistance
B) depends on the power rating of the resistor
C) depends only on the circuit voltage
D) is inversely proportional to the branch resistance

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is constant and equal to the source voltage. The current through a branch is determined by Ohm's Law (I = V/R), meaning it is inversely proportional to the resistance of the branch. Higher resistance leads to lower current and vice versa.
