  1. Parallel ✔
  2. Series
  3. Resonant

Why: Every branch of a parallel circuit connects across the same two points. Therefore each branch has the same voltage.

Huh, didn't know that: Current can be different in each parallel branch.

The dad joke
Why do parallel branches never argue? They all see eye to eye on voltage.
