In a parallel circuit, the current splits and follows multiple paths. Each path, represented by a branch, contains a resistor. The amount of current flowing through each branch depends on the resistance of that branch.
According to Ohm's Law (I = V/R), where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance, we can see that in a parallel circuit, the current is inversely proportional to the resistance. This means that higher resistance results in less current flowing through that particular branch.
So, in a parallel circuit with two resistors, the resistor with a higher resistance will have less current flowing through it compared to the resistor with a lower resistance. The current will distribute itself among the branches based on the relative resistances of each branch.
