Parallel circuits normally have more than one resistor. Basically parallel circuits are circuits where the current has more than path to follow. However, there are parallel circuits where there are two switches rather than two resistors.

What is a parallel curcuit?

A parallel circuit is a circuit where there is more than one path of which the flow of current can travel. It is also called a current divider as it divides the current since it splits the path.

What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current has more than one path to follow?

A circuit that has more than one path for the current to flow is a parallel circuit. The circuit must have two or more paths to be considered parallel. A circuit that has only one current path through multiple components is a series circuit.

How to calculate a parallel circuit with more than one load in its branches?

If a 'parallel' circuit has more than one load in its (not "it's"!) branches, then it is not a parallel circuit, but a series-parallel circuit! To resolve the circuit, you must first resolve the total resistance of the loads within each branch.


What happens to the resistor when there are more components?

Adding more components changes how a resistor works. In a series circuit, resistance goes up, slowing current. In a parallel circuit, resistance drops, letting more current flow. The effect depends on how the components are connected.


What type of circuit has more than one path for the electrons?

a parallel circuit.


A parallel circuit is:?

A circuit in which electricity has more than 1 path to flow.


In parallel circuit there are several paths for the current to take?

No. By definition, a parallel circuit occurs when there is more than one alternative path.
