*after a long lecture.* <And in a parallel circuit things work differently. The main principle with any network of devices in parallel is the current divider rule witch states that the sum of the current going into the node equals the total sum of the currents going out. This means that we haven't lost any energy and the laws of conservation of energy have been met by our formulas. So if you put that through this equation we can see that each resister, if it's exactly the same resistance as the rest gets an equal share of the current, as the current always takes the path of least resistance.>
