In a parallel circuit, the current flow is independent in each branch.
it follows two paths
In any parallel connection The original current gets divided into the parallel branches, however the division is solely based upon the resistances of the parallel paths. Current always tries to flow through the branch having the least resistance. Thus More current will flow in the branch having less resistance and vice-versa. The currents flowing in the parallel branches can be found out by using the current divider rule. Suppose if R1 & R2 are two branches of a parallel connection & i1 & i2 is the current flowing through them respectively. Let 'I' be the original current then the current through R1 can be given as i1=R1/(R1+R2) * I similarly current through R2 can also be calculated.
It depends on the purpose for installing the resistor. If the intent is to decrease current flow, the resistor must be connected in series with the load. If the purpose is to increase current flow, the resistor must be connected in parallel with the load. To connect a resistor in series, connect the resistor to one side of the power source, in line with the load. This will decrease circuit current flow. To connect a resistor in parallel, connect the resistor between the positive and negative sides of the power source, which will effectively connect the resistor across the load . This will increase current flow through the circuit. However, before connecting a component in parallel, make sure the increase in current flow will not exceed the current rating of the circuit or fuses/breakers will blow.
Current flow remains the same throughout the circuit.
Removing any bulb breaks the continuity of a series circuit, stopping the flow of electrical current. Removing a bulb in a parallel circuit does not interrupt the current flow, so the remaining lights continue to conduct electrical current.

Counter-current flow is more efficient then parallel flow. Shahzad, MUET Chemical Engineer

In series connection current will be same. in parrel connection voltage will be same and current wil be varying
The least amount of current will flow through the branch of a parallel circuit that has the most resistance.
Parallel circuit
if you connect the pumps in series, it will add head at the same flow rate. Inversely, in parallel connection, double the flow rate at same head.
The branch with the highest resistance in a parallel circuit will have the least current flow. Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by Resistance
Consider the electric current to be like the flow of water. In a series circuit, the downstream wire of the first device is connected to the upstream wire of the second device. So the current has to flow through device one, then device two. In this case, total resistance is increased because it is harder for the current to flow through two devices. In a parallel circuit, the upstream wires of the two devices are connected to each other, and the downstream wires of the two devices are connected. So, part of the current will flow through device one, and the rest of the current will flow through device two. In this case, total resistance is decreased because the current can flow more easily through the resistors (this takes a little math to really prove, but the conclusion still holds). Some circuits can have some devices wired in series, and others in parallel, but these circuits should not be confused with simple series and parallel circuits.
constant electrical quantity-series connection -current constant electrical quantity-parallel connection - voltage
by adding resistance in parallel more current is bound to flow
how does electric current flow in the b connection? do the two bulbs in a series circuit, light when the middle bulb is loose? why?
The Series circuit is a single path for current flow. like Christmas tree lights, one part of the path is obstructed (a light that's bunt out ) they all go out. Parallel circuits have more than one path for the current flow, so if one path is obstucted, the current can take another path (like rungs of a ladder )
