Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which best describes a parallel circuit?
A
Electricity flows along one pathway.
B
The flow of electricity comes from more than one source.
C
Electricity flows along more than one pathway.
D
The flow of electricity comes from more than 1 load.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A parallel circuit is one that has two or more paths for the electricity to flow, the loads are parallel to each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -classification of electric circuits A parallel circuit comprises branches so that the current divides and only part of it flows through any branch. The voltage, or potential difference, across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same, but the currents may vary.

Detailed explanation-3: -A parallel circuit is a circuit in which there are at least two independent paths in the circuit to get back to the source. In a parallel circuit, the current will flow through the closed paths and not through the open paths.

Detailed explanation-4: -parallel circuit: An electric circuit providing more than one conducting path.

Detailed explanation-5: -A circuit is a path that electric current flows around. A light bulb is a load that converts electrical energy into light and heat energy.
