The picture of the race track is like a parallel
circuit. The service station is like the power supply in a circuit. A parallel circuit has more than
one possible route from the power supply, through the various circuit components, back to the power
supply.

Consider two electrical circuits, represented in
the circuit diagrams. Both circuits consist of three 5 W resistors. In one
circuit, the resistors are connected in series. In the second circuit, the resistors are connected in
parallel. Both circuits are connected to identical power supplies. In this situation, the series
circuit would have the lower equivalent resistance.
