When disconnecting one resistor from a parallel circuit,what why happen

1 answer

When disconnecting one resistor from a parallel circuit, the total resistance of the circuit will decrease. This is because in a parallel circuit, the total resistance is determined by the reciprocal sum of the individual resistances. So, removing one resistor from the circuit will reduce the total resistance and potentially increase the current flow through the remaining resistors. This could potentially lead to an increase in power consumption and stress on the remaining resistors.
