• Newton's Laws

• Coulomb's Law

In a combination circuit, what is the effect of adding more branches in parallel?

• Increases total current

• Decreases total current

• Increases total voltage

• Decreases total voltage

What is the main advantage of using combination circuits in household wiring?

How does the total current behave in a combination circuit?

• It is the same through all components

• It is divided among parallel branches

• It is divided among series components

• It is zero through all components

In a combination circuit, if one component fails, what happens to the circuit?

• The entire circuit stops working

• Only the series part stops working

• Only the parallel part stops working

• The rest of the circuit continues to work
