Question #250Basic Electricity and Electronics

How does the total current relate to the individual currents in each branch of a parallel circuit?

  1. It equals the average of each branch current
  2. It decreases as more parallel branches are added to the circuit
  3. It equals the sum of the currents through each branch (Kirchhoff’s Current Law) ✓ Correct answer
  4. It is the sum of the reciprocal of each individual voltage drop
