Final answer:

Insufficient information is provided to determine the total current flow in the parallel circuit, but for the separated question regarding current and charge, the correct answer is 1.25 C, as charge equals current multiplied by time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total current flow in a parallel circuit can be calculated by summing the currents flowing through each branch of the circuit. However, the question does not provide enough information to determine the total current flow, as we do not have the currents through all the branches or the voltage and resistance values to calculate it. For the other question provided, where 2.5 A of current is present in a circuit with a battery and a bulb, and we need to find the amount of charge that flows through the circuit in 0.5 s:

Charge (№) is calculated by the formula:

  • Charge (№) = Current (I) × Time (t)

In this case, using the formula:

  • Charge (№) = 2.5 A × 0.5 s = 1.25 C

Therefore, the correct answer for the amount of charge that flows through the circuit is 1.25 C.
