Parallel Circuit - 3

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

Explanation: In parallel circuit voltage remains same across the resistor.
