Parallel Circuit

A Parallel circuit provides multiple current paths. In a Parallel circuit, all of the component's positive terminals are connected to one point and all of the component's negative terminals are connected to a different common point. Source voltage is the same at all loads.

The current flow in a parallel circuit will be equal to the sum of the current flowing through each branch of the circuit.
