___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. How do you relate the total voltage to the individual voltage across the resistors in parallel?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. What happens to the total resistance when you add more resistors connected in parallel
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

4. What happen to the total current in the circuit as the number of components connected in parallel
increases?
