Each branch in a four-branch parallel circuit carries 10 mA. If one of the branches opens, then the current in each of the other three branches equals ________.
A)0 A
B)30 mA
C)13.33 mA
D)10 mA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a parallel circuit, the current through each branch is independent of the other branches. Therefore, if one branch opens, the current in the remaining branches remains unchanged at 10 mA each.
