If you unscrewed any bulb in the circuit it would turn all of the bulbs off.
The current in each branch of the circuit will turn and flow in the other direction.
A light switch turns on lights because when flipped, it completes a complete circuit.

The energy to produce the light stops and the light stops.
Parallel circuit.
It is very beneficial to have a parallel circuit... for example: 1. If one light in a parallel circuit goes out, the other light bulbs will remain lit Whereas if a light in a series circuit goes out, all bulbs will go out 2. If not all light bulbs are needed on, you can turn them off with the remaining light bulbs staying on
If you unscrewed any bulb in the circuit it would turn all of the bulbs off.
If you have a 3 bulbs in parallel lets say. If one of those burns out it just means that there is now an open circuit where the burned out bulb used to be. The two that remain aren't aware that anything has changed.
pushing the button changes the circuit from a series circuit to a parallel circuit.
When you turn on a light switch you do not have an open circuit.
No, they do not. Think of it this way. Your house is one huge parallel circuit. Not every branch is on all the time. You turn switches on and off to turn individual branches on and off at will.
The current in each branch of the circuit will turn and flow in the other direction.
The advantages of parallel circuits are that if one component, e.g. light bulb fails, the other ones will keep functioning. The problem with series circuits are that if one light bulb fails, the others are also affected.
The circuit will stop working once turn off a flashlight.
When a switch is closed the path through the circuit is continuous.
a closed circuit
