EEE :: Parallel Circuits
-
The sum of the currents into a junction is equal to the sum of the currents out of that junction.
-
The total resistance for two resistors in parallel is equal to the sum of the two resistors.
-
The total current divides among parallel resistors in a manner directly proportional to the resistance values.
-
Addition of resistors in parallel increases total resistance and decreases total current.
-
Total power in a parallel circuit is found by adding up the power of all the individual resistors.
