What happens to a parallel circuit when the path is broken or one light bulb goes out?

Answer 1

In a parallel circuit, each component (such as a light bulb) has its own separate path for current to flow. This means that if one path is broken or one light bulb goes out, the other components in the circuit will continue to operate as normal. The remaining bulbs will stay lit because they are still connected to the power source through their own separate paths. This is different from a series circuit, where if one component fails, the entire circuit is affected and all components will stop working.
