 PARALLEL CIRCUITS - CURRENT

Part (B) of the schematic shows the same resistor (R1) with a second resistor (R2) of equal value connected in parallel across the voltage source.

When Ohm's law is applied, the current flow through each resistor is found to be the same as the current through the single resistor seen in part (A).
