If one component fails, it does not effect other components
Parallel Circuits
Most widely used circuit design
Parallel Circuits
More than one path for electrons to flow
Parallel Circuits
Voltage the same across any path
ET = E1 = E2 = E3
Current inversely proportional to the resistance of the path
Parallel Circuits
Total resistance is less than any one resistive path
Parallel Circuits
Contain series and parallel elements
Complex circuits
only one path for current flow
Series circuit
