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.

Series and Parallel Circuit Series and parallel circuits are two fundamental configurations in electrical circuits, each with distinct characteristics that affect how electricity flows through them.

When resistors are connected in series, the current through each resistor is the same. When resistors are connected in series, the total of all the voltages (sometimes referred to as potential ...
