Components are in parallel when serveral components are connected to one
|
||
|
|
source, and there is a choice between which compoenents current can flow to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When in parallel, the current across components adds up. Loads in parallel are
|
||
|
|
known as current dividers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When loads are in parallel, the total current flowing into the componenets must
|
||
|
|
equal the total current flowing out. This is known as _Kirchoff's Current Law_
