Characteristics of a parallel
combination of resistors :
(1) The voltage (potential difference) across each of the resistors is the same.
(2) The total current is equal to the sum of the currents through the individual resistors.
(3) The reciprocal of the effective resistance of the combination is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances.
(4) The effective resistance of the combination is less than any of the individual resistances.
(5) The current through each resistor is inversely proportional to the resistance of the resistor.
(6) This combination can be used to decrease the resistance in a circuit.
Answer:
A Parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: 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 currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.
