Parallel Circuits

Q1: When an additional resistor is connected across an existing parallel circuit, the total resistance

A remains the same

B decreases by the value of the added resistor

C increases by the value of the added resistor

D decreases

ANS:D - decreases

In the parallel circuit;

Total resistance,
1/R=1/R1+1/R2.

As the number of parallel branches is increased, the total resistance of the circuit is decreased. So, the answer is Decreases.
