what is a parallel

Parallel refers to two or more things that are equidistant from each other and never meet, no matter how much they may be extended in either direction. This term can be used in different contexts, such as in geometry, where parallel lines are lines that never intersect, or in writing, where parallel structure is used to create a common grammatical pattern throughout a sentence. In electronics, parallel circuits are circuits in which the same potential difference is applied to multiple devices, allowing several operations or tasks to be performed simultaneously
