To compare: the amount of current entering a junction in a parallel circuit with that leaving the junction.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
In parallel circuit, different current flows through the circuit. But voltage will remain the same.
A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit in which there are several paths for the current to flows. In the parallel circuit, the amount of the current entering a junction in a circuit is equal to the amount of current leaving the junction in the circuit.
Conclusion:
Hence, within the parallel circuit, the amount of current that reaches a circuit junction is equal to the amount of current that leaves the circuit junction.
