Question 9 • Crowley Credit Recovery Physics B

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

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

Explanation

In a parallel circuit, the total current equals the sum of the currents through the individual branches. In a series circuit, the total voltage equals the sum of the voltage drops across the components. Therefore, the quantities that equal the sum of their individual values are the current in a parallel circuit and the voltage in a series circuit.
