4. In a parallel circuit, there is more than one loop or pathway so charge flow gets split up or recombined at junction points. Therefore current is not the same at every point in the circuit a) How does the current through the one resistor in circuit A, compare to the current through each resistor in circuit B? (Use Kirchoff Loop rule on circuit B to look at the current in each path.)
