Question 1

What is the formula to calculate total current in a parallel circuit?

I_total = I_1 + I_2 + I_3
I_total = V / R
I_total = R_eq / V

💡 Hint: Think about adding flows together.

Question 2

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a 9V battery connected to two parallel branches, each with a 220 Ω resistor. If the second branch is replaced with a 110 Ω resistor, what is the new equivalent resistance?

💡 Hint: Use the parallel resistor formula.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a parallel circuit with four branches (220 Ω, 220 Ω, 100 Ω, and a 330 Ω resistor), calculate total current when powered by a 9V battery.

💡 Hint: Calculate equivalent resistance first.
