What is the definition of a parallel circuit?

Asked by Lisbey208

Answer (3)

A parallel circuit is one in which there's a place where the flow of current can split up and follow different paths.
An example might be: Two lamps plugged into the same outlet and both turned on.
Current that comes out of the outlet splits up, and parts of it flow through each lamp.

No . of devices when connected parallely or when they don't depend on each other to conduct electricity makes a parallel circuit. PLEASE MARK BEST

A parallel circuit is an electrical circuit where components are connected across the same two points, allowing for multiple paths for current to flow. Each component in a parallel circuit receives the same voltage, and if one component fails, others continue to function. This design is particularly useful in household wiring, ensuring that devices work independently.
