In circuits connected in parallel, the components are connected on different branches. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

A common example of parallel resonance is a tuning circuit, as shown in the Figure above. In practical tuning circuits, the resistance in the capacitive branch is negligible, but the inductive branch ...

Thus, when a number of resistances are connected in parallel, then the sum of the currents flowing through all the resistances is equal to the total current flowing in the circuit.

About Those Series and Parallel Circuits Resistors, capacitors and inductors are easy once you understand the basics ...
