A parallel electronic circuit has two or more electronic components connected so that each component’s lead is connected to the corresponding lead of every other component in the circuit.
A parallel circuit comprises branches so that the current divides and only part flows through any branch. In consequence, if one component burns, the current stop only through that branch, and the rest part work fine.
A parallel circuit is distinguished because all components are linked to the same electrically common terminals. In the image, we can 4 see that points 1, 2, 3, and 4, and points 8, 7, 6, and 5, are all electrically connected; all resistors and batteries are also connected.
