In a parallel circuit with a voltage source and several branch resistors, how is the total current related to the current in the branch resistors?
It equals the sum of the branch current through each resistor
Kirchhoff's Current Law: The total current entering a junction equals the total current leaving it. In a parallel circuit, the total current from the source splits among the branches.
