what circuit consist of more than one pathway of electricity
Answers
parallel circuit: An electric circuit providing more than one conducting path. resistor: A device used to control current in an electric circuit by providing resistance. series circuit: An electric circuit providing a single conducting path such that current passes through each element in turn without branching.
1. A circuit that consists of more than one pathway is called a parallel circuit.
2. There are multiple paths for electricity to pass through the circuit in a parallel circuit.
3. There exist multiple paths from the positive terminal of the electric source to the negative terminal of it.
4. In this, the components are parallel to one another.
5. The current passing through each component is added together to generate the current flowing through the source.
6. When resistors are connected in series, the voltage across each resistance is the same. The polarities are also the same.
7. Because each component has its own circuit, even if one fails, the others will continue to function.
