Total Current
The overall flow of electric charge through a circuit, determined by the sum of all individual current paths within the circuit.
Parallel Circuit
An electric circuit in which the same voltage is applied across multiple paths, allowing current to divide among the paths.
Inductive Reactance
The opposition to the change in current flow in a circuit element caused by its inductance, affecting the phase angle between voltage and current in AC circuits.
