  3. Parallel Circuit Rules A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. VS = V1 = V2 = V3… 

  4. Parallel Circuit Rules The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.  IT = I1 + I2 + I3…

  5. VT V1 V2 V3 RT R1 R2 R3 = + + Let’s find the total Resistance IT = I1 + I2 + I3… Use V and R to find I:

  6. VT V1 V2 V3 RT R1 R2 R3 1 1 1 1 RT R1 R2 R3 = = + + + + Use: VS = V1 = V2 = V3

  7. Parallel Circuit Rules The Total Resistance of a Parallel Circuit is always less than the smallest resistor.
