As more branches are added to a parallel circuit
A) total resistance increases
B) branch resistances increase
C) total current increases
D) total voltage increases

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When more branches are added to a parallel circuit, the total resistance of the circuit decreases because there are more paths for the current to flow. This decrease in total resistance leads to an increase in the total current through the circuit, according to Ohm's Law (V = IR), where V is constant.
