Why the current is the same in both sides of the main line that connects the voltage source to the parallel branches.?

Because... in a parallel circuit - assuming the wires are all of the same material, the current splits equally at the dividing point.

What quantity varies place to place in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit voltage remains constant but current will vary with the number of branches (resistors). Remember that Current(amps)=V/R.
What happens to current in a parallel circuit?
in a parallel circuit, current get divided among the parallel branches in a manner so that the product of current and the resistance of each branch becomes same. The sum of the current in each branch is equal to the total current of the circuit.
What is the voltage drop running through the parallel?
The voltage drop is the same through each of the parallel branches.
What happens if current flows through 2 parallel current in the same direction?
With the possible exception of some circuits that have inductance and capacitance in parallel and are excited by a pulse or an alternating voltage, the currents in two parallel branches of a circuit are ALWAYS in the same direction.
In a circuit the voltage is the same across all branches?
Parallel
How do parallel circuits use current and voltage?
Kirchoff's voltage law: In a series circuit, the signed sum of the voltage drops around the circuit add up to zero. Since a parallel circuit (just the two components of the parallel circuit) also represents a series circuit, this means that the voltage across two elements in parallel must be the same.Kirchoff's current law: The signed sum of the currents entering a node is zero. In a series circuit, this means that the current at every point in that circuit is equal. In a parallel circuit, the currents entering that portion of the circuit divide, but the sum of those divided currents is equal to the current supplying them.
One that has two of more branches for separate current from one voltage source?
That's a Parallel circuit.
Why does the same voltage run through all the branches of a parallel circuit irrelevant of the different resistance appliances on those branches?
The same voltage is present but does not run. It is the current that could be described as "runniing" through the different branches. Just by definition, parallel circuits necessarily have the same voltage. It is architecture of the circuit.

How do you find power in parallel circuit?
Voltage will be same in all branches. Voltage= Current * Total Resistance

The voltage drop is the same through each of the parallel branches.
What can be used to reduce the amount of voltage drop across the branches of a parallel circuit to be less than source voltage?
A: BY adding resistance to one or all branches will reduce the voltage drop across any branch. But also the current will be reduced accordingly
What is the equation for power current and voltage?
1. Formula with respect to the current(I) & resistance(R)V = I.R2. Formula with respect to watt power(P) & current(I)V = P/I
