In a parallel circuit, the same source voltage is applied across each branch. According to Ohm’s law, increasing the source voltage causes the current through each resistive branch to increase. Consequently, the total current drawn from the source also increases. Therefore, a sudden increase in total current may indicate an increase in source voltage, assuming the circuit resistance remains unchanged.
A sudden increase in the total current into a parallel circuit may indicate an increase in source ______.
