Question

A parallel circuit contains four identical lamps. The current through the energy source is 4 A. The total resistance of the circuit is 10 Ω. What is the voltage across the energy source and across each lamp

Answer 1

a parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit the sum of the current through each path is equal to the total current that follows from the source another definition is in a parallel circuit all components are connected across each other formally exactly two sets of electricity common points a branch in a parallel circuit in a path of electricity current formed by one of the load component
