Detailed explanation-1: -A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.
Detailed explanation-2: -A parallel circuit has more than one path for current flow. The number of current paths is determined by the number of load resistors connected in parallel.
Detailed explanation-3: -If two or more components are connected in parallel, they have the same difference of potential (voltage) across their ends. The potential differences across the components are the same in magnitude, and they also have identical polarities. The same voltage is applied to all circuit components connected in parallel.
Detailed explanation-4: -Since there are multiple pathways by which charge can flow, adding another resistor in a separate branch provides another pathway by which to direct charge through the main area of resistance within the circuit.
Detailed explanation-5: -A parallel circuit is an electric circuit with two or more paths through which charges can flow.
