Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the c

Answer: Only Tech B is correct.

Explanation:

First, tech A is wrong.

The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.

Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.

A motorcycle is traveling along a highway at 26 m/s. How far does the motorcycle travel in 15 s?​
leva [86]
26 m/s for fifteen seconds. distance = rate times time, so distance = 26 m/s * 15 seconds. this gives you distance = 390 meters.
