pathway (closed circuit) in which the electrical current is divided into two or more parallel paths and returns through one path. If the loads in this circuit are bulbs and one blows out, there is sti [..]

Electrical circuit arranged so that current passes through more than one pathway simultaneously.

A circuit in which an entering current divides proportionately among the circuit elements.

A circuit in which the components are connected across each other. The voltage applied to each component is the same.

An electric circuit in which two or more components connected across two common points in the circuit so as to provide separate conducting paths for the current.

In a parallel circuit, each component is connected directly across the terminals of the power supply. Therefore, the voltage across any component is the same as the voltage across the power supply ter [..]

An electric circuit with two or more paths through which current can flow (Lesson 23)

— a circuit that splits into branches. A break in one branch will not stop current in the other branches.

An electrical circuit that has more than one path for current flow. A parallel circuit has positive and negative terminals connected to two distinct points, with voltage applied equally throughout.

a circuit where current is provided to each component independently (each component has own ground). The failure of one component does not affect rest of circuit.

     A circuit with two or more loads (or sources) connected such that all have the same voltage but different currents.  Each load can be operated independent of the others.  Parallel sources should have equal voltage ratings.

A circuit in which all control and current consuming devices are arranged in several independent branches.  Each branch provides a separate current path through the circuit components on this branch o [..]

Circuit in which two or more electrical devices, such as bulbs, are connected so that electricity can flow through each independent of the others. Since each device has its own circuit, equal amounts [..]

This is when the circuit divides to make two or more pathways for the current to flow.

An electrical circuit that has positive and negative terminals connected to two distinct points, with voltage applied equally throughout

An electric circuit providing more than one conducting path.

An electric circuit that has two or more paths for the electricity to flow. The light fixtures in a parallel electric circuit are connected in "parallel" to each other like rungs on a ladder. If one of the light fixtures in a parallel circuit burns out, the other light fixtures will remain on because the electric current would still be ab [..]

components in a parallel circuit have all of their (+) sides connected together and all of their (-) sides connected together. This configuration allows for all of the components to receive the same v [..]

a circuit in which the parts are joined in branches such that the potential difference across each part is the same

One where all the elements are connected across the voltage source. Therefore, the voltage on each element is the same but the current through each may be different.
