 PARALLEL CIRCUITS - CURRENT

The total current then flows from node ‘b’ back to the positive terminal of the source. The source supplies a total current of 10 amperes and each of the two equal resistors carries one-half the total current.

Each individual current path in the circuit is referred to as a BRANCH. Each branch carries a current that is a portion of the total current. Two or more branches form a NETWORK.
