A parallel circuit is one with two or more channels for electricity to pass through. The loads are perpendicular to one another. If the loads in this circuit were light bulbs and one blew out, current would still flow to the others since they are still on a direct route from the battery's negative to positive terminals. However, if any other load was in the way, it could be damaged.
The answer is yes, electricity can flow through a parallel circuit. But only one device can be active at a time. If you have three devices that need to use the power source simultaneously, they must all use different parts of the circuit to prevent shorting out anything important. For example, if you have a lamp and radio playing at the same time, there's a chance the radio might get too much voltage and burn up. This will happen even if the lamps seem like they're in the way because electricity needs a path to follow and when the radio is blocking the path, the lamp won't work properly.
If you want to use several small appliances at once, try using a multiple outlet power strip. These come in cases where each outlet has its own switch so only one thing at a time can be plugged in. They're helpful if you often have people over who want to use different appliances at once but don't want to clutter up your house with all those switches just for them.
Circuits in parallel When two or more components are linked in parallel, the potential difference (voltage) across their ends is the same. All circuit components linked in parallel are subject to the same voltage. The bulbs are considered to be in parallel if they are attached to the battery in separate loops. Each bulb will receive the same amount of current as any other bulb.
The link below shows three lamps being connected in a parallel circuit. Notice that all three bulbs light up at the same time when you turn on the power supply. This proves that they are connected in parallel and will share the load equally:
Lamps Connected In Parallel
Now let's look at another example. Lamps are still connected in parallel, but this time with two different circuits. Here's one way to connect two lamps in parallel:
Two Circuits With Two Lamps Connected In Parallels
When you connect two lamps in parallel there are four possible connections for the circuits: closed-loop circuits where each lamp has its own fuse/breaker; open-loop circuits where each lamp has its own resistor instead; shared-fuse/shared-breaker circuits where both fuses/breakers are supposed to blow at the same time if either one does; and shared-resistor circuits where both resistors are supposed to drop out if either one does.
A parallel circuit is one in which circuit components are linked next to or in parallel. As a result, several branches or channels via which current might flow arise. The resistance in each branch determines the voltage drop and current flow via that branch and only that branch. If there are many branches, it can be said that they form a polygon with multiple angles. Parallel circuits are useful in cases where total current needs to be drawn from a single source, but not all of the currents need to reach their destination at the same time.
In electronics, a parallel circuit is any collection of devices connected together in such a way that all of them will conduct if any one of them receives an electric signal. Such circuits are used especially when it is necessary to use small signals (low-current signals) or when large signals need to be transmitted quickly. The most common example is the set of wires connecting your house to the street meter box; if the cable between the two were alone in the system, then the meter would have to be able to handle any possible load on it, even if this load was very small. But since all the wires go into the box at once, the box can't tell how much current is on each wire, so it uses big connectors that can handle high currents yet still fit inside the box.
