 Parallel Circuit- circuit that has more than one path for the current to pass ◦ Has at least two branches ◦ Advantages ◦ if one part of the path is removed, the current will still flow through the other paths ◦ IF you add resistance to the circuit, it doesn’t affect the flow of current to the other branches
