Question 61
Easy

A group of students set up a circuit to investigate how the number of identical resistors in parallel affects the total current from the power supply.

They measure the total current and the potential difference across the parallel combination.

Table of results

Number of resistors in parallelTotal current in mAPotential difference in V
114.04.50
228.04.50
342.04.50
44.50

Using the data in the table, predict the total current from the power supply when there are 4 of these identical resistors connected in parallel in the circuit.
