1. parallelcircuit - a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit 2. Siemens - the Si unit of conductance equal to one reciprocal ohm 3. Conductance - the degree to which an object conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current which flows to the potential difference present. This is the reciprocal of the resistance and is measured in siemens or mhos. 4. Reciprocal - Reciprocity in electrical networks isa property of a circuit that relates voltages and currents at two points.
