Definitions:

Circuit Branches

Parts of an electrical circuit that split from the main circuit to form parallel paths for current to flow through.

Combination Circuit

An electrical circuit consisting of both series and parallel connections of components, requiring complex analysis to determine overall behaviour.

Current Path(s)

The route that electrical current flows through in a circuit, which may include components like resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

Total Resistance

The overall opposition to electric current flow in a series circuit, calculated by summing the resistance values of all components.
