Figure 2. A parallel circuit, starting at the lower left corner a battery labeled E1 goes up with the positive side at the top. A resistor labeled R1 connects to the top of the battery. The other end of the resistor connects to the bottom of the battery. A second resistor labeled R2 has it's top end connected to the top of the battery. This resistor is drawn to the right of the first one rather than over it. The bottom of R2 connects to the bottom of the battery. A third resistor labeled R3 has one end connected to the top of the battery. The bottom end of this resistor connects to the bottom of the battery. This third resistor is drawn to the right of the second one.
