In a electrical circuit where there are two paths for current to flow, one of high resistance and one of low, the electricity will flow in both paths, in inverse proportion to the resistance in the two paths.
For example,
If a voltage of 10 volts is applied simultaneously to two resistances, one of 100 ohms and one of 1000 ohms, then by Ohm's Law the current in the former will be 10/100 = 0.1 amps and the current in the latter 10/1000 = 0.01 amps.

What path does electricity always seek?
Electricity always seeks the path of least resistance. It flows through conductive materials that offer lower resistance, allowing it to move more easily. If given the choice, electricity will always follow the path that offers the least amount of obstruction to its flow.
Why does electricity take the path of least resistance?
Electricity takes the path of least resistance because it follows the easiest route to flow through a circuit. This is due to the nature of electrical currents, which always seek the path with the least resistance to minimize energy loss and heat generation.
Why does electricity always seek the ground?
Electricity always seeks the ground because it follows the path of least resistance. The ground provides a direct and easy route for the flow of electricity to balance out differences in charge.
Is eletricity similar to water and both follow the same path of least resistance?
Electricity and water both follow the path of least resistance, but they behave differently. Electricity flows through conductive materials, while water flows through pathways like pipes. The concept of least resistance applies to both when they seek the easiest route to flow.
Why does electricity follow a path?
Good question. Electricity is about electrical charges. Alas, nature prefers electrical neutrality -- no net charge. An electrical charge is in an unstable state; it will seek the easiest path to be neutralized (to be in a stable state via a most energy-efficient manner); easy here means the lowest resistance to the flow. If water is dropped on a hilltop, it will seek a more stable state, the lower ground, by the quickest means (straight downhills), not meandering like a road for cars. Same for an electrical charge.
What are some slogans for saving electricity?
Save Electricity, SEEK THE LIGHT AND SPREAD IT. Save a watt to save a lot!
What games do children play that live in countries without electricity?
hide and seek
Can you get shocked from the casing of a piece of equipment if it is properly grounded?
Proper grounding, by definition, will keep you from getting shocked. Equipment is grounded specifically for that purpose. The electricity will always seek the path of least resistance. A proper ground makes sure that path is through the ground.
Insurgent strategies seek to achieve their political aims by using what?
Will, time, space and resistance
What requires electricity?
The most common games that require electricity include video and internet games. Games that do not require electricity include most sports, tag, hide and seek and sandbox.

Why are more childbirth at night?
Less labor problems lying down on the job! Kidding aside it makes sense, women are indoors in hospital and on their back, sleeping is normal nightime activity, the line of least resistance, is a natural principle. it is perfectly natural to seek rest when one is health-impaired or sick anyhow, such phrases as sickbed.
