▼

1. Calculate the total resistance of the parallel circuit.
2. Use Ohm's Law (V = I × R) to find the total current from the battery.
3. Apply the voltage rule for parallel circuits: voltage across each branch equals the source voltage.
4. Use Ohm’s Law on each branch to find the individual branch currents.
5. Verify that the sum of the branch currents equals the total current from step 2.
6. For each resistor, calculate power using P = V × I or P = I² × R or P = V² / R.
7. Sum the power dissipated by all resistors to confirm it equals the total power supplied by the battery (P = V × I_total).
