Moderate
A sudden increase in the total current into a parallel circuit may indicate______________?
Correct answer: C. an increase in source voltage
- A. a drop in source voltage
- B. an open resistor
- C. an increase in source voltage
- D. either a drop in source voltage or an open resistor
Explanation
For a fixed parallel network, total current increases when the source voltage increases, since I = V/Rt. A dropped voltage or an open branch would instead reduce the total current.
