2) Parallel Circuit - circuit in which each component has its own circular path

Ex 2)

a)

IT = I1 + I2 + I3 + ...

For example:

 

If I1 = 2 amps, I2 = 3 amps
I3 = 4 amps

 

Then ... IT = 9 amps

 

b) The voltage drops across each component in parallel is equal

VT  = V1 = V2 = V3

VT = Source Voltage

** Write in the correct voltages

c)

V1 = I1R1

 V2 = I2R2

V3 = I3R3  etc.

 

d) Current in 1st & 2nd resistor?

e) What’s R3?
