Adding a resistor in parallel decreases the overall Resistance and increases the total Current of the circuit. However, where do all these extra charge come from? I know the battery provides the potential difference to drive the flow of electrons to do work, but where did the extra charges come from when the current increased? Did more electrons suddenly became available as soon as the resistor was added in parallel?
