Question 9 • Physics

Which quantities are equal to sum of the individual values within a circuit?

Answer
A
the resistance in a parallel circuit and the voltage in a series circuit
B
the voltage in a parallel circuit and the resistance in a series circuit
C
the resistance in a parallel circuit and the current in a series circuit
D
the current in a parallel circuit and the voltage in a series circuit

Explanation

In a parallel circuit, the total current equals the sum of the currents through each branch. In a series circuit, the total voltage equals the sum of the voltage drops across the components. Therefore, the matching quantities are the current in a parallel circuit and the voltage in a series circuit: choice A.
