Parallel DOL

What happens to the voltage across each resistor in a parallel circuit?

• It decreases with each additional resistor

• It varies randomly

• It increases with each additional resistor

• It remains the same across each resistor

How does adding more bulbs in a parallel circuit affect the circuit? Choose all that apply

• Has no effect on an individual bulb's brightness

• It increases the current

• Decreases the equivalent resistance of the circuit

• Increases the equivalent resistance of the circuit

What is the equivalent resistance of two 6 ohm resistors in parallel?

• 12 ohms

• 6 ohms

• 3 ohms

• 9 ohms

In a parallel circuit, if one resistor burns out or is taken out, what happens to the others?

• They continue to work normally

• They all burn out

• Their resistance increases

• They stop working until the burnt one is replaced
