NO! It can follow many paths. The current dividing according to the impedance of
each path.

The important thing to remember is electricity doesn’t follow the shortest
path somewhere, it follows the path of least resistance.
NO -- it follows the path of least IMPEDANCE, which is the path of least
INDUCTANCE, which is the SHORTEST path. Resistance matters ONLY to the extent
that a low resistance takes longer to vaporize, so the path able to carry the
strike for more of its duration. THAT'S why we want BIG conductors.
