Applying Kirchhoff’s Junction Rule, what happens to the power source and current when the parallel circuit has two branches, each with a resistor, R? In one to two sentences, answer the question and explain your reasoning. (2 points)
In a parallel circuit with two branches, applying Kirchhoff’s Junction Rule shows that the total current entering the junction is equal to the sum of the currents in each branch. This means that the power source will provide the total current needed to power both branches, and the current in each branch will be determined by the resistance of that branch.
