Technician A says the total amperage in a parallel circuit is equal to the sum of the individual branch circuits. Technician B says the amperage in a series circuit is the same anywhere in the circuit. Who is correct?
A) Technician A only
B) Technician B only
C) Both Technician A and B
D) Neither Technician A nor B

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because in a parallel circuit, the total current flowing from the power source is divided among each individual branch circuit, and the individual currents add up to the total current. 
Technician B is correct because in a series circuit, there is only one path for the current to flow, so the current is the same at any point in the circuit.
