Question

After hearing about an accident on his normal route, Mr. Gujral checks for alternate routes to get to work.

What type of circuit does this traffic situation model?

a series circuit because there is more than one path
a series circuit because there is only one path
a parallel circuit because there is more than one path
a parallel circuit because there is only one path

Answer 1

a parallel circuit because there is more than one path

Explanation: Alternate routes = multiple paths for flow (like branches in a parallel circuit). A series circuit has only a single path.
