From the transformer, it travels through underground or overhead conductors to your home's electrical panel, where it splits into many different pathways called "branch circuits." These branch ...

ELLIE: And on the other hand, a parallel circuit has electrical components on separate branches, so the electrons can take different routes around the circuit. JAMES: And if you want to know ...

The current through them will be different if they have different resistances. The total current in the circuit is the sum of the currents through each branch.
