When resistors are connected in parallel, the supply current is equal to the sum of the currents through each resistor. The currents in the branches of a parallel circuit add up to the supply current.

When resistors are connected in parallel, they have the same potential difference across them. In other words, any components in parallel have the same potential difference across them.

Sometimes, it's the little things that are just so darn handy to have around. I'm often confronted with having to choose a parallel pair of resistors to get as close as possible to some non-standard ...
