Question

which of the following statements is true?
select one:
o a. the voltage is the same at the input of all branches of a parallel circuit.
o b. the total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the current flowing in each branch of the circuit.
o c. both a and b
o d. neither a nor b

Explanation:

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same (statement a is true). Also, according to Kirchhoff's current law, the total current entering a junction (in a parallel circuit, the junction before the branches) is equal to the sum of the currents in each branch (statement b is true). So both statements a and b are correct.

Answer:

C. Both A and B
