No, it's not. It's perfectly and absolutely true.
Electricity will NEVER seek any other path but
that of the lowest resistanct/impedance/whatever.

So you think if you put a 20 Ohm resistor in parallel with a 1 Ohm
resistor then 0 current will flow through the 20 Ohm resistor and ALL
the current will flow in the 1 Ohm resistor?

If that's what you think, you are ABSOLUTLY WRONG.
I'm not going to debate this with you, its a fact.

This whole thread and that exchagne above are exhibiting the difference
between and electrician and an EE.
EE's are right.
Electricians are practical.
