The short answer is NO. PARALLEL circuits are those in which two or more physical branches (the wirings) are connected together at the endpoints of each branch. This means that each branch has the same voltage V applied to it (across it). Since each branch may have different types of components (the loads), the current in each branch can be different, since current I is the voltage V across a branch divided by the effective load resistance R, then I= V/R . Since the voltage across each branch is the same, if R varies in each branch then current I must vary in each branch.
A SERIAL circuit has the SAME current since it is formed by connecting the branches (components) together in a consecutive string so that the current flowing in one must be the same as the next. In this case then the voltage must be different across each component if the R of each component is different.

What is the power of a parallel circuit with a resistance of 1000 ohms and a current of 0.03 amps?
.9 watts.
If two electrical loads are connected in parallel with each other and each load draw 6 amps what is the current of the circuit?
12 Amperes is.
Each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors yes or no?
No. What you are describing is a series-parallel circuit, not a parallel circuit.
What is the current of a circuit that has two 5-ohm resistors and a 12 V battery?
If the two 5 ohm resistors were in series, then the current would be 1.2 amperes. If they were in parallel, then the current would be 4.8 amperes. Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by Resistance RSeries = Summation1toN RN RPARALLEL = 1 / Summation1toN (1 / RN)
Types of electrical circuit?
Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.
What happens to the power output of each lamp if more lamps are connected in parallel?
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
What quantity varies place to place in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit voltage remains constant but current will vary with the number of branches (resistors). Remember that Current(amps)=V/R.
What is same in the parallel circuit?
the term voltage is constant in parallel circuits
Why is amps constant in a series connection?
Since the Emf(voltage) being supplied to circuit is constant then so is the current in series circuit.In parallel circuits the current is then divided depending on the resistors.but for both circuits the sum of the current in= current outAnswerIt's not necessarily 'constant', but it will be the samecurrent.
What is the same in a parallel circuit?
Always voltage constant in parallel circuit if you look your house wiring all are in parallel therefore 220 volt present in every house but current is different
In a AC parallel circuit which is constant voltage or resistance?
Voltage will be constant. Resistance is dependent on the components in the circuit. Source: Electronics Technician for the US Govt
What is the power of a parallel circuit with a resistance of 1000 ohms and a current of 0.03 amps?
.9 watts.
If two electrical loads are connected in parallel with each other and each load draws 6 amps what is the total current of the circuit?
12 Amperes is.
If 2 amps of current enter a node of a parallel circuit how many amps must leave the node?
The nodal currents must sum to zero (Kirchhoff's current law). So the answer is 2 amps.
What is a circuit with two or more pathways?
Generally, a circuit with multiple paths is called "parallel" because of the structure of the wiring involved. Parallel circuits have identical voltage on all paths, while current through each path is variable; whereas series circuits, having only one path, has constant current, but variable voltage.
What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
