A parallel circuit is shown in the diagram above. In this case the current supplied by the battery splits up, and the amount going through each resistor depends on the resistance. If the values of the three resistors are: R1 = 82, R2=82, and R3 = 42, the total resistance is found by: 1/R = 1/8+1/8+ 1/4 = 1/2. This gives R = 22. With a 10 V battery, by V = 1 R the total current in the circuit is: I = V/R = 10/2 = 5 A. The individual currents can also be found using I = V/R. The voltage across each resistor is 10 V, so the resistance across R1 : 2.5A 1.25V 2.5V 1.25A

Is a  vector quantity  that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
