Parallel Circuit | MCQs

Explanation

In most businesses and homes, electrical circuits are connected in parallel to ensure that:

• Each device receives the same voltage
• If one device fails or is turned off, others remain operational
• The entire circuit doesn't fail if one device is disconnected

Explanation

In a parallel circuit, the charge which passes through one resistor will always pass through the other resistors.

Each resistor provides a separate path for the current, so the current divides among them according to their resistances.

Explanation

Batteries with different EMF cannot be connected in parallel because KVL is not valid in this case.

Connecting such batteries can lead to excessive current flow and potential damage.
