Answer Notes
A parallel circuit is configured so that all components are connected across the same two electrical points or nodes. Because they share these identical connection points, the voltage across each component is forced to be exactly the same, regardless of their individual resistance values.
In contrast, a series circuit connects components end-to-end; in that configuration, the current is the same through all components while the voltage is divided among them. Distractors like "resonant" and "branch" refer to other circuit concepts rather than the fundamental rule of constant voltage across parallel components.
