the electricity will get caught in the insulator and not go through
parallel means the wires touch multiple loads unlike series where the current has to flow through one to get to the other
If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.
The bulb will shine as long as it is still part of a complete circuit. You probably have a diagram for such a circuit. See if you can still trace a path through the battery and one of the bulbs without passing through the other bulb. For comparison, try the same thing with a diagram of a series circuit.
In a parallel circuit (with more than one branch), the current will still flow in the other circuit(s) even if there is a break in one circuit. This is not so with a series circuit, since it does not have branches: if there is a break in the circuit, there is a break in the circuit.
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 rule for finding total resistance in a parallel circuit is that a parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Another rule states that voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. If one of the parallel paths is broken, current will still continue to flow in all the other paths.
parallel circuit: Providing that the breakage does not result in a short circuit the other bulbs will still light. series circuit: If the breakage results in a short circuit through the bulb the other bulbs will light more brightly. If the breakage results in a breakage of the connection through the bulb then the other bulbs will not light.

one light will still be going
The other light bulb still continues to shine if one light bulb is taken out of a parallel circuit. In a series circuit if one light bulb is removed the other light bulb goes black. This happens because the circuit is incomplete.
In a parallel circuit, the other bulb still works when one fails.

Parallel circuit
If a component of a parallel circuit fails, there are complete pathways for electricity to allow the remaining components to carry on functioning. ( For instance if the living room light bulb fails, the kitchen light can still work.) Also, if you link several bulbs in series, the current through them drops and they are dimmer than one on its own, but this doesn't happen with a parallel circuit.
That is a parallel circuit. Each bulb is wired directly to the power and not through each other. A Christmas tree light set is an example of a series circuit, and often up to 3 series circuits in parallel. Because the sets are wired in parallel, a missing bulb in one of the series sets only affects that one set, and thus 2/3 of the lights may still work.
The other components are still connected to the circuit
