24. Summary Adding resistors in parallel decreases the total resistance of the circuit The current divides into different paths Each load uses all the potential difference supplied by the battery Parallel The current decreases when more resistors are added The current is the same throughout the series circuit Each load uses a portion of the total potential difference supplid by the battery Series Resistance Current Potential Difference Circuit
