[hot wire]---[switch]---[load]---.

[ground]
In this situation would the current "prefer" to go to neutral or to ground?
Edit: Or this one...
[neutral wire]---[load]---[switch]---.

...where "load" is like a 20 watt LED bulb or something.
- kragen 4y agothis is the wrong way to think about it; the current will prefer to flow through both paths, which is why you can have a 20-watt lightbulb and a 10-watt lightbulb on the same circuit the parallel resistance is lower
