• Each component separately connected.
• If one of the components is disconnected then it does not effect those it is parallel with.
• All components get the full source voltage.
• Voltage the same in all components.
• The lower the resistance of a component the greater the current.
• Total current in the circuit is equal to the currents in its separate branches.
• Total current going into a junction is equal to the total current leaving it.
