Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	True
B	False
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -In a parallel circuit, if one appliance goes out of order, the other appliances stop working. This statement is false. Because it will not affect the voltage going to other appliances.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a series circuit, there is only one path for the current, and a break in the circuit stops the current. In a parallel circuit, there are multiple pathways or branches. If there is a break in any branch, the current will still go through the other branches. Only if all the branches have breaks will the current stop.

Detailed explanation-3: -As in a series circuit, if a branch in a parallel circuit develops a short extremely high currents may flow through the short circuit. The voltage across all branches of a parallel circuit will be zero with a short circuit.
