Parallel circuit a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit.

Differences of parallel and series Components of an electrical circuit or electronic circuit can be connected in many different ways. The two simplest of these are called series and parallel and occur frequently. Components connected in series are connected along a single path, so the same current flows through all of the components.
