According to Kirchhoff's voltage law, the sum of the voltage drops around a closed circuit is equal to the applied voltage. This means that as the current flows through the circuit, it encounters resistance in the form of resistors and the voltage drops across each resistor. The sum of these voltage drops is equal to the applied voltage. Therefore, the correct answer is "sum of the voltage drops around the circuit."Rate this question:

(219) Applied voltage in a parallel circuit is 12 volts, and there are two parallel branches with one 6-ohm resistor in each branch. The voltage drop across each resistor is
-
2 volts
-
6 volts
-
12 volts
-
24 volts
Correct Answer
A. 12 voltsExplanation
In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same. Since the applied voltage is 12 volts and there are two parallel branches, the voltage drop across each resistor would also be 12 volts. This is because the voltage is divided equally among the branches in a parallel circuit.Rate this question:

(219) The total resistance in a parallel circuit is always
-
Equal to the largest resistance in the circuit.
-
Equal to the smallest resistance in the circuit.
-
More than the largest resistance in the circuit.
-
Less than the smallest resistance in the circuit.
Correct Answer
A. Less than the smallest resistance in the circuit.Explanation
In a parallel circuit, the total resistance is always less than the smallest resistance in the circuit. This is because in a parallel circuit, the current has multiple paths to flow through. As a result, the total resistance decreases as more paths are added, making it easier for the current to flow. The smallest resistance offers the easiest path for the current, so the total resistance will be less than that value.Rate this question:
