A parallel circuit is way of connecting components on separate branches, so the current can take different routes around the circuit. The current is different in different parts of a parallel circuit.

Previous tutorials have described that resistors may either be connected as a series circuit or a parallel circuit where the currents and voltages are obtained using Ohm’s Law. To produce more complex ...

One of the most dangerous ideas circulating in the electrical industry is that electricity follows the path of least resistance. But if it did, not a single one of our electronic gadgets would work.
