Parallel circuits are circuits that have more than one loop, unlike series circuits, and each loop only has one component, making it more stable, meaning that if one component breaks, the whole circuit won't stop working.
We can also mix and match parallel and series circuits to add more components, an example of this is adding an on/off switch in the series circuit, which is connected to a parallel circuit.
Somthing different about parallel circuits is that since that all the compdennts get the same amout of potemntal difference, if we have a a parallel circuit with two compodents on two loops and if the total amount of voltage going through the circuit is 4a, then either both compodents have the same amount of voltage taken (2a & 2a) each or they have an odd number like 3 & 1, if we add all of the amps in a circuit it should total to 4 reguardless.
Eletricity likes to take the path of least-resistance, thats why electrical currents are stronger the lower the resistance the compident is, and the more compodents you add to a parallel circuit the lower the total resistsance will be,.
