How is a parallel circuit different from a series circuit?
A: A parallel circuit only has one path for the circuit to take.
B: A parallel circuit has more than one path for the circuit to take.**
C: A parallel circuit has a broken path for the circuit to take
D: A parallel circuit has an unbroken path for the circuit to take.
Is this correct?
correct
ye, ur right :3
Yes, your answer is correct. A parallel circuit has more than one path for the circuit to take, while a series circuit only has one path.
Yes, option B: "A parallel circuit has more than one path for the circuit to take" is the correct answer.
To understand the difference between a parallel circuit and a series circuit, we can look at the arrangement of the components in each type of circuit.
In a series circuit, the components are connected in a single path. This means that the current flowing through one component must flow through all the other components in the circuit. If one component breaks or is removed, the circuit is interrupted, and all components stop working.
In a parallel circuit, the components are connected in multiple paths. Each component is connected to the same battery or power source, but they have their own separate paths for current flow. This means that the current can flow through one component without passing through the others. If one component breaks or is removed, the other components can still continue to function because the current can flow through the remaining paths.
So, a parallel circuit is different from a series circuit because it has more than one path for the circuit to take.
