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.

The current flowing in a parallel circuit can be investigated by connecting the circuit below. Once more, put one ammeter in position A 1 and record the reading in a suitable table. The current in a ...
