• parallel circuit

The picture is an example of .....

• Series Cicuit

• Parallel Circuit

• Alternating Circuit

• Direct Circuit

an electrical path that branches so that the current divides and only part of it flows through any branch

• parallel circuit

• open circuit

• electrical energy

If one of the light bulbs in a parallel circuit is removed from its socket (the socket is left in place), what will happen to the other light bulbs?

• The other light bulbs will stay lit with the same brightness

• The other light bulbs will go out

• The other light bulbs will burn brighter

• Both light bulb will stay lit

Answer explanation

The current in any branch on a parallel circuits is independent of what is going on in the other branches.

Which best describes a parallel circuit?

• The flow of electricity comes from one source. 

• Electricity flows along more than one pathway. 

• The flow of electricity comes from more than one source.
