🔍 Key Concepts

• Parallel vs. series circuits and how current and voltage behave in each • The formula for equivalent resistance in parallel (involving reciprocals) • How adding more branches in parallel affects the overall resistance and current flow

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the total resistance when you add another branch in parallel: does it make it easier or harder for current to flow? • Compare the idea of "more paths" for current to flow with traffic using multiple lanes on a highway—does that increase or decrease overall resistance? • Look closely at the choices that mention "sum" of resistances—does that sound more like a parallel or a series circuit behavior?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how Ohm’s Law (V = IR) helps you understand what happens to total current when another parallel branch is added at the same voltage. • Check which option matches the reciprocal relationship used in the formula for total resistance in parallel circuits. • Confirm that in a true parallel circuit, the total resistance must relate in a specific way to the smallest individual resistance in the branches.
