1. A parallel circuit contains four branches with resistors values of 4.7k, 5.6k, 8.1k and 10k. Which branch has the largest current flow?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which resistor value is greatest? 10k than assume that it has the largest current flow. since k stand for kilowatts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it is in parallel.so in parallel we divide the terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thnx alot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what :|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the current takes the path of least resistance, current is lazy , the smaller the resistance the larger the current through it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.7k is the smallest resistor , so it has the largest branch current
