Question

If the resistance is added in parallel to a circuit, the circuit resistance is than?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total resistance in a parallel circuit is always less than any of the branch resistances. Adding more parallel resistances to the paths causes the total resistance in the circuit to decrease. As you add more and more branches to the circuit the total current will increase because Ohm's Law states that the lower the resistance, the higher the current.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Decreased.

Explanation:

When multiple resistors are connected in such a way that their two terminals share the same node. In such a connection the total resistance is smaller than the resistance value of any of the resistors. If the resistance of circuit is R and a resistor with resistance value R' is connected in parallel to it, the combined resistance will be,

$\frac{1}{R_{New}}=\frac{1}{R}+\frac{1}{R'}$
