Add switches to each branch in your parallel circuit. If you open one switch, what happens?(3 points)

Current doubles in the other branch.

Bulbs dim in both branches.

The whole circuit turns off.

Only that branch turns off; the other stays on.

Only that branch turns off; the other stays on.

Reason: in a parallel circuit each branch is an independent path. Opening a switch breaks only that path, so current stops there while the other branch continues to get the same voltage and stays lit (neglecting any small supply/internal-resistance effects).
