Question
a circuit is a path that allows electrons to flow. below is an example of a parallel circuit connecting three light bulbs. a parallel circuit has more than one path for electrons to flow. in this parallel circuit, electricity can flow to any of the lightbulbs because each lightbulb has its own path. in this parallel circuit, what happens if lightbulb c burns out? all of the bulbs go out. lightbulb a turns off. only lightbulb c turns off.
In a parallel circuit, each component (like the light - bulbs here) has its own independent path for the current to flow. So, if one component (lightbulb C in this case) burns out (opens its path), it does not affect the current flow through the other components (lightbulbs A and B).
