How is the total current in a parallel circuit worked out?
You add up the currents in each branch. The current in each branch is just (voltage acrossd the parallel circuit)/(resistance of that branch) . ==================================== If you'd rather do it the more elegant way, then . . . -- Write down the reciprocal of the resistance of each branch. -- Add up the reciprocals. -- Take the reciprocal of the sum. The number you have now is the 'effective' resistance of the parallel circuit ... the single resistance that it looks like electrically. -- The total current through the parallel circuit is (voltage acrossd the parallel circuit)/(effective resistace of the parallel circuit) .
What is the inverse of capacitance?
The reciprocal of capacitance is elastance. This is perhaps more convenient for circuit analysis than capacitance. In a circuit, a capacitor can be neglected if the elastance is set to zero. In the same way, a resistor/inductor can be ignored if its resistance/inductance is set to zero.
What is the reciprocal of 10.1?
The reciprocal of any number is 1 divided by that number. Therefore, the reciprocal of 10.1 is 1/10.1.The reciprocal of any number is 1 divided by that number. Therefore, the reciprocal of 10.1 is 1/10.1.The reciprocal of any number is 1 divided by that number. Therefore, the reciprocal of 10.1 is 1/10.1.The reciprocal of any number is 1 divided by that number. Therefore, the reciprocal of 10.1 is 1/10.1.
Does zero is the reciprocal of zero?
Zero does not have a reciprocal.
Is the reciprocal of a product the product of a reciprocal?
Yes.
