Parallel circuit
An electrical circuit is a loop or closed path for the flow of current through it. The complete closed path along with electrical components for travel of current through it. A parallel circuit is that in which circuits components are connected in such a way that they make multiple paths for the current flow. The electrical circuits components are resistor, inductor, capacitor, etc. If these elements make more than one path for the current flow then the circuit is called a parallel circuit. Because all components are connected in parallel to each other so it is known as a parallel circuit. current is the difference in all elements of a parallel circuit. Equivalent or total resistance is equal to the reciprocal of all reciprocal resistances sum. Voltages remain unchanged in parallel circuits.

There can be different types of series circuits concerning included elements in the circuit. Resistance parallels circuit; this circuit is consists of only resistors as electrical elements in circuits. Capacitor parallel circuits; this one is consists of a capacitor and similarly, there is also a parallel circuit for the inductor. Some different parallel network circuits are RL, RC, RLC circuits. Voltages remain the same and equal in all branches or elements and current is distributed or divided in each branch of a parallel circuit.
Total V = V1=V2=V3=.....=Vn, Total I=I1+I2+I3+....+In
Total R = 1/1/R1 +1/R2 + 1/R3 +....+1/Rn.
