a parallel circuit can have 2 or more paths for electricity to flow through
Parallel circuit
Generally, a circuit with multiple paths is called "parallel" because of the structure of the wiring involved. Parallel circuits have identical voltage on all paths, while current through each path is variable; whereas series circuits, having only one path, has constant current, but variable voltage.
The essential difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit is the way in which the components are physically connected. In a series circuit there is just a single path that electricity can take, whereas in a parallel circuit there are two or more different paths.
A series circuit pretty much runs in one direction, with each item which uses a load on that circuit one after another in a series. Should one load go out (a lamp, for example) then the entire series is defunct. A parallel circuit has more than one way to run, has a parallel or tandem circuit, so that if one load (our lamp, again) should fail, the electricity has another path (or more) to get to other loads on the circuit.
H20 is actually a very poor conductor of electricity. Every day water(such as that you get from a tap ) contains more than h20. There are tons of microscopic impurities which are what actually conducts the electricity
A circuit in which electricity has more than 1 path to flow.
A circuit in which electricity only flows in one path is called a series circuit.
a parallel circuit can have 2 or more paths for electricity to flow through
because the series has only one path that electricity flows and parallel circuit has one or more pathways that electricity can flow
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
Apparently, the broiler draws more electricity than the circuit provides.
A parallel circuit
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.
Parallel circuit
Two or more electrical components connected together is called a circuit. Depending on how components are connected, it is either an open circuit, closed circuit, or a short circuit.
Because electricity will travel through almost everything but wood, rubber, and a few more. Scissors have metal in them, and that is the thing that electricity loves to travel through.
