This is where you are going wrong. Current moves because voltage pushes it. The push comes from the source, and the current is being pushed back to the source. If there are multiple paths that lead back to the source, then current will follow each and every one of them.

But current will not go into loops and head "everywhere but back to the source directly." If current finds two roads ahead, and if one leads back to the source and the other leads away from the source, then all the current will take the first road, and none will take the second. The push is towards the source. Current cannot flow upstream against the push that is pushing it back to the source.

Re: electrical ghosts

This seems to be way off topic from the original post. These are the basics.

Bob, I totally agree with everything you said, but I gotta make one correction: I think you mean to say impedance, not resistance. I know you know that but we have to be technically correct, don't we?

Peter, are you trying to impede the flow of this discussion. :roll:
