In circuits connected in parallel, the components are connected on different branches. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Current divides through the elements based on their individual impedances, seeking the path of least resistance. Elements with high impedances carry less current than elements with low impedances.

The current that goes through the first bulb also goest through the second bulb. If you remove any part of this circuit (like take out a bulb), everything goes out. If you wanted, you can make a ...

Both voltage and current divide in these circuits Electric circuits often consist of several elements, some combined in series and others in parallel. ... Series-parallel circuit. The Figure at right ...
