+
+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_
