What is a parallel circuit?
A circuit with a single path for electron flow
A circuit with a broken path, preventing electron flow
A circuit in which loads are connected by branches, offering multiple paths for electron flow
A circuit where electrons cannot flow
The correct answer is: A circuit in which loads are connected by branches, offering multiple paths for electron flow
A parallel circuit is a circuit where the loads are connected by branches, allowing for multiple paths for electron flow. This differs from a series circuit, where the loads are connected in a single path, as in option A. Option B is incorrect because a broken path would prevent any electron flow at all, making it an open circuit. Option D is also incorrect because in a functional circuit, electrons are always flowing.
