Parallel Circuit

Question 1

What happens if one bulb breaks

Answer 1

All bulbs in the other branches stay on

Question 2

What happens to the current

Answer 2

The current splits up when it comes to a branch. The current in all branches adds up to the current in the main part of the circuit

Question 3

What happens if you add more bulbs

Answer 3

They stay bright. It is easier for the current to flow with more branches, because there are more ways for the electrons to go

Question 4

What happens to the voltage

Answer 4

It stays the same across all branches of the circuit
