Three Parallel Circuit Rules
• The voltage drop across any branch is equal to the source voltage.
• The total current is equal to the sum of the branch currents.
• The total resistance is the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of each individual branch.

Unit 7 Parallel Circuits
Parallel circuits are circuits that have more than one path for current to flow.
I (total current) = 3A + 2A + 1A = 6A
