Parallel Open Activity

I went over a quick review of what happens in a parallel circuit when branches are open.  I was worried that if I had only one motor running it would receive all the current from the power supply because the other motors would be open circuits.  Luckily, opening a branch circuit reduces the total current so each motor will always receive the same amount of current.
