In a parallel circuit, how is the total current calculated?
By multiplying the individual currents.
By dividing the source voltage by the total resistance.
By summing the individual currents in each branch.
By subtracting the current from the source voltage.
Explanation
In a parallel circuit, the total current is the sum of the currents in each branch.
