Parallel circuits are circuits when placed in a parallel position. Meaning that for each device, they have their own branch. The voltage that is received in the circuit is equal to the individual devices. The total current is equal to the current of each device. The resistance is the reciprocal of the resistances of each device combined.  

Given:
Device 1 = 12 ohms
Device 2 = 4 ohms
Voltage total = 40V  

Required:
Current at 12 ohms  

Solution:
40V = V1 =V2  

Since V =IR
I1 = V1/R1
I1 = (40V)/(12 ohms)
<span><u>I1 = 3.334 A(Amperes)</u></span>

What are the two types of energy sources??
Vitek1552 [10]

Energy is the power we use for transportation, for heat and light in our homes and for the manufacture of all kinds of products. There are two sources of energy: renewable and nonrenewable energy.

<span>Nonrenewable Sources of Energy
</span>Most of the energy we use comes from fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas and petroleum. Uranium is another nonrenewable source, but it is not a fossil fuel. Uranium is converted to a fuel and used in nuclear power plants. Once these natural resources are used up, they are gone forever.

Renewable Sources of Energy
Renewable sources of energy can be used over and over again. Renewable resources include solar energy, wind, geothermal energy, biomass and hydropower. They generate much less pollution, both in gathering and production, than nonrenewable sources.

Hope this helps xox :)
