You should study up on Kirchov's Current Law (KCL). It is the means of answering your question and a tool for understanding all parallel circuit configurations.
AnswerKirchhoff's current law will tell you that the supply current is equal to the sum of the branch currents.

What is different between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit there are multiple possible pathways for the current to flow.
What is the relationship between the voltage output at the interface and the voltage across the series and parallel circuit?
Ohm's law states that the current in a circuit is inversely proportional to the circuit resistance. There is a single path for current in a series circuit. The amount of current is determined by the total resistance of the circuit and the applied voltage.
What is difference between seiries curcuits and parallel circuits?
A: In a series circuit the current remains the same In a parallel circuit the current may divide to satisfy the branches of the loads,
A type of circuit in which current can branch off?
In a parallel circuit, current is divided between each of the 'branches', according to their resistance.
What type of circuit is it when the current flow is divided between the different branches?
This type of circuit is known as a parallel circuit.
What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?
Parallel circuit
What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current has more than one path to follow?
A circuit that has more than one path for the current to flow is a parallel circuit. The circuit must have two or more paths to be considered parallel. A circuit that has only one current path through multiple components is a series circuit.
Is the current the same everywhere in the parallel circuit?
No. The current in a series circuit is the same everywhere. The voltage across a parallel circuit is the same.
How parallel and series circuit different?
In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.
Difference between series and parallel circuits?
The answer to this question is that in a parallel circuit there is more that one circuit or form of energy the circuit. In a series circuit there is only one form of energy in that circuit. Hope this helped you and gave you the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 :) if you look at a diagram of a parallel circuit, it looks like a ladder, where as a series circuit diagram looks like a rectangle <><><> "What are the differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?" In a series circuit there is only one path for the electric current to flow. If this path is broken, then the current will no longer flow and all the devices in the circuit will stop working. So if you hook up a bunch of light bulbs together, and one goes out, they all go out, and that can be a problem. In a parallel circuit there is more than one oath for the electric current to pass through. The current continues to flow through the other paths. So if one light bulb goes out of 20 goes out in a parallel circuit, they won't all go out, unlike a series circuit.
When a parallel LC circuit is tuned to resonance will the current be at a maximum or a minimum?
Inside the circuit loop between the inductor and capacitor the current will be at maximum. Outside the circuit the current through the LC tank circuit will be at minimum. It depends on where you are measuring it.
What are differences between series and parallel circuits?
In series circuits current will be the same through out the circuit. So whereever we connect the ammeter the same current is registered. But in parallel circuit current will be different in different lines. In parallel circuits the potential difference will be the same but in series pd will be different.
