Which of these statements is true of two or more current sources in parallel?
A) They violate Kirchhoff's current law.
B) A series resistor must be placed in each branch.
C) They may be replaced by one current source.
D) The magnitude of the combined current is always less than the smallest individual current.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Current sources in parallel can be combined into a single equivalent current source by adding their currents together, according to the principle of superposition. This does not violate Kirchhoff's current law, nor does it require a series resistor in each branch, and the combined current is the sum of individual currents, not necessarily less than the smallest individual current.
