Question

A circuit with several current paths, whose total current equals the sum of the current in its branches is a _____ circuit.

Answer 1

A circuit with several current paths, whose total current equals the sum of the current in its branches is a parallel circuit.

Answer 2

Answer:

Parallel

Explanation:

A circuit with several current paths can be connected in two basic forms; series and parallel.

When a circuit is connected in series, the same current flows through out the circuit.

However where the circuit is connected in parallel, the sum of the currents flowing in the branches gives the total current flowing in the circuit.
