Interpretation

Our interpretation on activity 2.2 is that in a parallel circuit, current are

divided into branches. Charges will take the easiest path this explains that the
current will flow through smaller resistance branches. Resistance in a parallel circuit
can be reduced to a single resistance. If we can determine the equivalent voltage
resistance across the voltage source, we can find the total circuit current.
Meanwhile the voltage across every component in the circuit is the same.

Conclusion
In order to get the equivalent or total resistance (R E), Ohm's law will be used.
In a series connection, we just add all the resistance to get the total resistance. On
the other hand, when the connection is parallel, we will use the product-over-sum
method.
If the connection is a combination of series and parallel, we must first get
either the total resistance of series or parallel. One connection by one connection
and then we must combined it to know the the equivalent or the total resistance. If
you add resistor in a parallel circuit in a series-parallel combination, it decreases the
total resistance.
