Question

Which circuit generates the most power

Answer 1

Answer:

parallel circuit

Explanation:

In a parallel circuit, the potential difference across each of the resistors that make up the circuit is the same. This leads to a higher current flowing through each resistor and subsequently the total current flowing through all the resistors is higher.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Most circuits have more than one component, called a resistor that limits the flow of charge in the circuit. A measure of this limit on charge flow is called resistance. The simplest combinations of resistors are the series and parallel connections illustrated in Figure 1. The total resistance of a combination of resistors depends on both their individual values and how they are connected.
