Resistances in Parallel // Parallel Circuit// Resistance Parallel Connection
Three resistances, as joined in Fig. A are said to be connected in parallel. In this case
(i) P.D. across all resistances is the same
(ii) Current in each resistor is different and is given by Ohm’s Law and
The main characteristics of a parallel circuit are :
1. Same voltage acts across all parts of the circuit
2. Different resistors have their individual current.
3. Branch currents are additive.
4. Conductances are additive.
5. Powers are additive.
