In parallel circuits, the is equal to the of the through each individual leg. Consider your home plumbing:
Your water comes into the house under pressure. Each faucet is like a that occupies a leg
in the circuit. You turn the valve and the water flows.
The drain reconnects all the faucets before they go out to the septic tank or town sewer.
All the water that flows through each of the faucets adds up to the total volume of water coming into the house as well as that going down the drain and into the sewer.
This analogy is similar to current flow through a parallel circuit.
