----- text -----
3BE-12.3 In a parallel circuit with a voltage source and several branch resistors, what relationship does the total current have to the current in the branch circuits?

-- part contents for background part 11
----- text -----
The total current equals the average of the branch current through each resistor

-- part contents for background part 27
----- text -----
The total current equals the sum of the branch current through each resistor

-- part contents for background part 28
----- text -----
The total current decreases as more parallel resistors are added to the circuit

-- part contents for background part 29
----- text -----
The total current is calculated by adding the voltage drops across each resistor and multiplying the sum by the total number of all circuit resistors
