🔍 Key Concepts

• Electric power formula in DC circuits: (P = V \times I) and alternatives (P = I^2 R), (P = \frac{V^2}{R}) • Behavior of voltage and current in a parallel circuit (what is the same across each branch, what is different) • How total current and total power relate to the sum of the branch currents and powers

💭 Think About

• In a parallel circuit, what is the same across each load: voltage or current? How does that affect the power used by each branch? • If you plug several heaters into the same bus (parallel), does the ship’s generator see only the largest heater, or all of them together? What does that suggest about total power? • Write the power for each branch as (P_1, P_2, P_3, ...). How would you express what the generator must supply to feed all branches at once?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how total current in a parallel circuit is calculated compared to individual branch currents. • Check whether total power can ever be less than every individual branch’s power when all branches are operating. • Confirm whether any option that involves dividing by the number of loads matches what you know about conservation of energy and how generators are sized.
