• The same current flows through all three light bulbs.
• It uses a single battery.
• The electrical current is divided between the three light bulbs.

In a parallel circuit if one of the light bulbs burns out the rest _________.

• stop the flow of electricity

• will go out

• can still light up

This is an example of a _______ circuit
