Choose the incorrect statement: A branch formed by the parallel connection.........
Correct answer: A. A branch formed by the parallel connection of any resistor R and open circuit has the characteristic of an open circuit.
- A. A branch formed by the parallel connection of any resistor R and open circuit has the characteristic of an open circuit.
- B. A branch formed by the parallel connection of any resistor R and a short circuit has the characteristic of a short circuit.
- C. A branch formed by the series connection of any resistor R and an open circuit has the characteristic of an open circuit.
- D. A branch formed by the series connection of any resistor R and a short circuit has the characteristic of resistor R.
Explanation
A resistor in parallel with an open circuit remains equivalent to the resistor, not an open circuit. In contrast, a parallel short dominates the branch, while a series open or series short gives the characteristics stated in the other options.
