In the circuit, the SW1 and SW2 switches are closed and the SW3 switch is in the open position. When the SW3 switch is closed, the total circuit resistance will be ? .

decrease by 1/3

Closing the SW 3 switch will add the R3 resistor to the circuit. Paralleling this third resistor will ? the total circuit resistance and ? the total circuit current.

decrease/increase

As resistors are added in parallel, the total circuit current will decrease.

false

The reciprocal equation can be used to calculate the total ? of any parallel circuit.

resistance

The total resistance of a parallel circuit is always less than the resistance of the smallest resistor in the circuit.

true

When all resistors are of equal value in a parallel circuit, the total resistance is equal to the value of one of the individual resistors or branches, divided by the number (N) of resistors or branches.
