Which of the following statements accurately describes a parallel circuit? Select all that apply.
The current is constant at all points in the circuit.
Every resistor in the same branch of the circuit experiences the same current through it.
The total resistance of the circuit increases as more resistors are added to it.
The current splits at junctions and follows different paths through the circuit.

Answer:

B, D, and E only

Explanation:

According to kirchoffs current law, current splits up when it reaches a junction in a parallel circuit. so A is false.

In a single junction (branch) however, current is constant. so B is true

C is false since equivalent resistance decreases in a parallel circuit with the addition of more resistors.

D is true according to Kirchoff's current law.

E Is true since in a parallel circuit equivalent resistance decreases with the addition of more resistors.

hope this helps.
