In circuits connected in parallel, the components are connected on different branches. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

A parallel circuit can be represented by a schematic diagram, where the components are shown as symbols and the wires are shown as lines.

The circuit diagram shows a circuit with two lamps connected in parallel. If one lamp breaks, the other lamp will still light. The lights in most houses are connected in parallel.

Both voltage and current divide in these circuits Electric circuits often consist of several elements, some combined in series and others in parallel. The methods used to analyze series and parallel ...
