What is a Parallel Circuit?
When components are
connected in parallel,
each component provides its own path
for the current
to flow through back to the cell.
Each path is called a branch of the circuit.
A parallel circuit
is shown above with three
branches and a different resistor
in each branch.
Compare this with a series circuit.
