How a parallel circuit works?

A parallel circuit has more than one resistor (anything that uses electricity to do work) and gets its name from having multiple (parallel) paths to move along . Charges can move through any of several paths. If one of the items in the circuit is broken then no charge will move through that path, but other paths will continue to have charges flow through them. Parallel circuits are found in most household electrical wiring. This is done so that lights don't stop working just because you turned your TV off.

What is a parallel circuit and how it works?

A parallel circuit is a type of electrical circuit where the components are connected in such a way that the current has more than one path to flow. This allows the current to divide and flow through each individual component independently. In a parallel circuit, if one component fails, the others can still operate because they are connected separately to the power source.


Each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors yes or no?

No. What you are describing is a series-parallel circuit, not a parallel circuit.
