Parallel Circuit

This is a parallel circuit, the current has 2 or more paths to follow so this allows the circuit to work even after the loss of one or more components. the equation for working out the values in slightly more complex than for the series circuit because the resistance values have to be added as fractions. the voltage is the same across all branches and the total current is the sum of the branch currents.
