Task 2: Parallel circuit

What is the total resistance of a parallel circuit with three resistors of 4 ohms, 6 ohms, and 8 ohms?

2 ohms

4 ohms

6 ohms

8 ohms

In a parallel circuit, if one resistor fails, what happens to the other resistors?

They also fail

They become disconnected

They continue to function normally

They become less effective

What is the total current in a parallel circuit if two resistors have currents of 2A and 3A?

1A

2A

3A

5A

What is the formula to calculate the total resistance of a parallel circuit?

R = R1 + R2 + R3 + ...

1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ...

R = R1 * R2 * R3 * ...

R = R1 - R2 - R3 - ...

What is the voltage across each resistor in a parallel circuit?

The same

Different

Depends on the value of the resistors

Depends on the current

If one resistor in a parallel circuit is removed, what happens to the total resistance?

Increases

Decreases

Remains the same

Becomes infinite

What is the total current in a parallel circuit if the currents in the individual resistors are 1A, 2A, and 3A?

1A

2A

3A

6A

What happens to the total current in a parallel circuit if one resistor is disconnected?

Decreases

Increases

Remains the same

Becomes infinite

How does adding resistors in parallel affect the total resistance of a circuit?

Increases

Decreases

Remains the same

Becomes infinite

What is the formula to calculate the total current in a parallel circuit?

I = I1 + I2 + I3 + ...

I = I1 * I2 * I3 * ...

I = I1 / I2 / I3 / ...

I = I1 - I2 - I3 - ...
