Which of the following refers to a parallel circuit ?
Correct answer: D. The current through any one element is less than the source current
- A. The current through each element is same
- B. The voltage across element is in proportion to it's resistance value
- C. The equivalent resistance is greater than any one of the resistors
- D. The current through any one element is less than the source current
Explanation
In a parallel circuit, source current divides among the branches, so the current in any one branch is less than the total source current. Equal current and voltage division proportional to resistance describe series-circuit behavior.
