What is a parallel circuit?

Back

A parallel circuit is a type of electrical circuit where components are connected across common points or junctions, allowing multiple pathways for current to flow.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens if one component in a series circuit is disconnected?

Back

If one component in a series circuit is disconnected, the entire circuit stops working.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How many pathways does a series circuit have for electron flow?

Back

A series circuit has only one pathway for electron flow.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does current behave in a parallel circuit?

Back

In a parallel circuit, the total current is divided among the different branches, and each component receives the same voltage.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the main characteristic of a series circuit?

Back

The main characteristic of a series circuit is that the same current flows through all components.

7.
