The potential difference remains the same over the components in parallel and the current splits up proportianally to the components conductances. The components conductances add up to give the combined conductance of the parallel circuit.

Conductance is 1 / resistance

What are the three types of circuit's?

the three types of circuits are series, parallel, and series-parallel.AnswerThere are, in fact, four types or categories of circuit, not three! These are series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.The term 'complex' is somewhat misleading, because a 'complex circuit' is not necessarily complicated (although they often are!) but merely the collective name for any circuit that isn't series, parallel, or series-parallel. A simple example of a complex circuit is a bridge circuit, such as Wheatstone's Bridge.


Who discover parallel circuit?

The concept of a parallel circuit was discovered by German physicist Gustav Kirchhoff in the 19th century. He formulated Kirchhoff's circuit laws, which describe how currents and voltages behave in a network of interconnected circuit elements, including parallel branches.


Does a battery operated toy have a parallel circuit?

Yes, a battery operated toy has a parallel circuit - the battery is in parallel with the toy. In fact, this is true for any system where there is a single equivalent source and a single equivalent load. While it is true that this is also a series circuit, by Kirchoff's current and voltage laws a simple series circuit is also a simple parallel circuit.


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?

If you have three light bulbs on a circuit but all the bulbs have a different electrical path what kind of circuit do you have?

Parallel.


Which circuit has different parts of the circuit on separate branches?

Any circuit that even has more than one branch is a parallel one.


How many type of electric circuit?

There are basically two types of circuits: parallel and series. In a series circuit, current flows in one continuous straight path. In a parallel circuit, the current has more than one path to follow.AnswerThere are four categories of circuit, not two. These are 'series', 'parallel', 'series-parallel', and 'complex'. A 'complex circuit' describes any circuit not falling into the first three categories.
