In a parallel circuit, how is the total current related to the current in each branch?
The total current is less than the branch currents.
The total current is the sum of the branch currents.
The total current is the product of the branch currents.
The total current is the same as the branch currents.
Explanation
In a parallel circuit, the total current is the sum of the currents in each branch.
