True or False
Mark each of the statements below True or False.
1 .
Parallel resistors are connected between the same two points.
[
Hint
]
True
False
2 .
The sum of the currents into a junction is equal to the sum of the currents out of that junction.
[
Hint
]
True
False
3 .

[
Hint
]
True
False
4 .
The total resistance for two resistors in parallel is equal to the sum of the two resistors.
[
Hint
]
True
False
5 .
A parallel circuit acts as a current divider.
[
Hint
]
True
False
6 .
The total current divides among parallel resistors in a manner directly proportional to the resistance values.
[
Hint
]
True
False
7 .
In a parallel circuit, the branch with the lowest resistance has the most current.
[
Hint
]
True
False
8 .
Total power in a parallel circuit is found by adding up the power of all the individual resistors.
[
Hint
]
True
False
9 .

[
Hint
]
True
False
10 .
