- If there is an open part of the circuit, current will flow in the remaining parallel paths.
- Each part of a parallel circuit has the same voltage.
- The total current of a parallel circuit is the sum of each individual current between components.
- Total Resistance is calculated using the following formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3… This means that the total resistance of a circuit gets smaller with each resistor.
What does all this mean? Well, lets take a circuit and calculate some numbers
