Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Refer to the diagram of the parallel circuit to help you with some questions.
Observe the diagram of a parallel circuit below:
1. In a parallel circuit, if one component breaks or is removed, what happens to the other components?
They all stop working.
They continue to work.
They work intermittently.
Their brightness increases.
2. What is constant across all branches in a parallel circuit?
Current
Resistance
