All the branch circuits in your house are parallel. They have a constant voltage applied to any device plugged into an outlet. If you thought about an analogy for a parallel circuit, imagine that the rails on each side of rungs represented the hot and neutral wires of a typical household branch circuit. The rungs would be the loads connected in parallel. Each "load" draws the current needed to operate the specific device. The sum of all the currents for the "loads" is equal to the total current being supplied through the circuit.

What circuit is it when electrical current has two or more paths to follow?
A circuit in which electricity only flows in one path is called a series circuit.
What is the difference between parallel and series circuit connection?
The Series circuit is a single path for current flow. like Christmas tree lights, one part of the path is obstructed (a light that's bunt out ) they all go out. Parallel circuits have more than one path for the current flow, so if one path is obstucted, the current can take another path (like rungs of a ladder )
What is the difference between a parallel circuit and a series circuit?
A parallel circuit is one in which there is more than one current path. An example might be several light bulbs in a house, all of which provide a path for electric current. The advantage is that any of the lamps can be turned on or off without affecting the current flow through any other lamp. A series circuit is one in which the current has only a single path through multiple components. An example might be two resistors, one after the other. Both will have the same current through them but they may have varying voltages depending on their resistance. Another example of a series circuit is a houehold lamp and a light switch. When the light switch is open, no current flows through it and therefore, no current can flow through the lamp either. When the switch is closed, current will now flow through the switch and the lamp.
How does a series circuit light 2 bulbs?
The current flow is identical.
Can power factor be more than one?
No. In the simple case of a linear circuit, the power factor is the cosine of an angle, and that can't be more than 1.
A parallel circuit is:?
A circuit in which electricity has more than 1 path to flow.
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.
What has more than one path for a current flow?
Parallel Circuit
Why does electrical current flow along a single path in a series circuit and more than one path in a parallel circuit?
Because there is only a single path in series circuit and many paths in parallel circuit.
Is it true that in a series circuit electric currents flow through more than one path?
more than 1
What a circuit is called with more than one path through which electrons can flow?
The alternate paths are said to be "in parallel" (with one another).
What is a circuit with more than one path through which electrons can flow?
The alternate paths are said to be "in parallel" (with one another).
What is a circuit with more than one path through electrons can flow?
The alternate paths are said to be "in parallel" (with one another).
What circuit is it when electrical current has two or more paths to follow?
A circuit in which electricity only flows in one path is called a series circuit.
What kind of circuit has more than one path for current flows?
A two-path circuit.
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 type of circut has more than 1 path for current?
A parallel circuit has more than one path.
