A Parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.
This set
of Basic Electrical Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs)
focuses on “Parallel Networks” Set-3.
15. A
parallel circuit differs from a series circuit in that a parallel circuit has
a) no path for current flow
b) fewer paths for current flow
c) one path for current flow
d) more than one path for current flow
Answer: D
16. In
the given circuit, Channel 1 of the stereo amplifier outputs 12 V to the
speakers.
How much total current is the amplifier
providing to the speakers?
a) 0 A
b) 1.5 A
c) 3 A
d) More information is needed to find the total
current provided to the speakers.
Answer: C
17. If
two parallel-connected resistors dissipate 6 watts and 10 watts of power, then
what is the total power loss?
a) 3.75 watts
b) 4 watts
c) 16 watts
d) 60 watts
Answer: C
18. Which
component is shorted?
a) R1
b) R2
c) R3
d) R4
Answer: D
19. In the given circuit, Channel
1 of the stereo amplifier outputs 12 V to the speakers.
How much total power is the amplifier
delivering to the speakers?
a) 0 W
b) 18 W
c) 36 W
d) More information is needed to find the total
power delivered to the speakers.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Req = R1 X R2 = 8 x 8 / 16 =
4
R1 + R2
P = V2 / R = 12 x 12 / 4 = 36 w2
20. If a
1 k and a 2 k resistor are parallel-connected across a 12 V supply, how much
current is received by the 2 k resistor?
A. 4 mA
B. 6 mA
C. 8 mA
D. 12 mA
Answer: B
Explanation:
In parallel circuit
voltage remains same across the resistor,
Hence, current received by the 2 k resistor = 12
/ (2 x 1000) = 6 mA
21. What
does VS equal in the given circuit?
a) 0 V
b) 9 V
c) 27 V
d) More information is needed to find VS.
Answer: B
