Why is there no effect on other branches in a parallel circuit when one branch of the circuit is opened or closed?

this is because the energy can still flow through the other branches.

What is the allowable voltage drop for a branch ct?
The voltage drop in any branch (closed loop) of a series parallel circuit is equal to the APPLIED VOLTAGE(NOVANET) Without looking in my codebook, I believe it is 2% on a branch circuit.
What paths can electricity take through a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
electricity take every possible path which follow closed path across its source.AnswerIn a series circuit, there is only one path for current to flow; the same current passes through each component.In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths called 'branches', and the sum of the individual branch currents is equal to the current drawn from the supply.
What are the names of the different kinds of circuits?
there are 2Series circuits and parallel circuitsFurther AnswerThere are, in fact, four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' includes any circuit that's not one of the other three.Series and Parallel
Why is one bulb set up along a parallel circuit actually a series circuit?
In a series circuit, if you open a bulb, current loop will be broken. So, current cannot travel all the wayback, hence no output. But in a parallel circuit, current will be only shared with parallel circuit, but the loop remains closed even if you remove the bulb. So, no change occurs.
What is the name of the circuit that is neither parallel nor series?
FEEDBACK CIRCUITS. In addition to parallel and series circuits, there are also closed and short circuits.

What is parallel curcuit?
A parallel circuit is a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit.
Electric lights will not come on unless their electrical circuit is a parallel circuit?
No, electric lights come in both parallel and series circuit.
How many circuits in the parallel circuit?
parallel circuit - a closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths.The circuits in a parallel circuits there are two or more circuits.

What kind of circuit can electricity travel in?
parallel and series

In a parallel circuit the voltage is across all branches?
the same In a parallel circuit, the voltage travels through all the closed circuit paths. They are not branches.
What are some different types of electrical circuits?
Some different types of circuits are:openclosedparallelseriesThere are two types of basic circuits, series and parallel.In series, current stays constant and voltage is divided amongst the resistors.In parallel the voltage stays constant, Every branch of the circuit gets the same voltage from the power supplier, but there is different current in every branch but current doesn't get lost. Current entering a junction(branches) must equal to current out of the junction. Iin =Iout.The third type could be the Series-Parallel Combination, which has some components wired in series and other components in parallel. Solving these circuits requires more complex analysis techniques. See related link.Another AnswerElectrical circuits are generally classified as being: (1) series, (2) parallel, (3) series-parallel, and (4) complex. The term, 'complex' is a category into which any circuit that doesn't fall into the first three categories, is placed.

When all parts of a circuit are compose of conducting materials the circuit is said to be?
When all parts of a circuit are composed of conducting materials, the circuit is said to be closed.One condition could be a closed circuit, however it could be open if the components are not assembled or are assembled incorrectly.
What is a parallel circit?
A closed circuit in which the current divides into two or more paths before recombining to complete the circuit. The voltage remains the same throughout the circuit.
