Resistor can be connected such that they branch out from a
single point (known as a node), and join up again somewhere
else in the circuit. This is known as a parallel connection.
DC PARALLEL CIRCUITS
“Two elements, branches, or circuits are in parallel if they
have two, and only two points in common.”

Parallel branch = current path
◦ If there is more than one current path (branch) between two
separate points (nodes) and if the voltage between those two
points also appears across each of those branches, then there
is a parallel circuit between those two points.

- “The algebraic sum of the currents entering a node or
junction is equal to zero.”
