  1. parallel circuit

    A parallel circuit is a type of electrical circuit where all components such as resistors, capacitors or inductors are connected in parallel, which means they each have their own separate path for the current to flow through. In contrast to a series circuit, the voltage across all components in a parallel circuit is the same, but the total current is equal to the sum of the currents through each component.
