To calculate the current in parallel wires, you will need to use Ohm's Law, which states that current (I) is equal to voltage (V) divided by resistance (R). This means that I = V/R. In parallel wires, the voltage is the same across each wire, so you can simply divide the total voltage by the total resistance to find the current.
In series wires, the current flows through each wire in order, meaning that the resistance of each wire is added together to find the total resistance. In parallel wires, the current splits and flows through each wire separately, so the total resistance is less than the resistance of each individual wire.
Yes, the current in parallel wires can be higher than the current in a single wire. This is because the total resistance of parallel wires is less than the resistance of a single wire, which allows more current to flow through.
To calculate the total resistance of parallel wires, you will need to use the formula 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... + 1/Rn, where Rt is the total resistance and R1, R2, R3, etc. are the resistances of each individual wire. Then, you can take the reciprocal of Rt to find the total resistance.
Yes, the current in parallel wires can be different in each wire. This is because the current splits and flows through each wire separately, so the resistance of each wire will affect the amount of current that flows through it.
