Parallel Circuit

A circuit in which current can flow through more than one path

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a buffet, where you can choose from multiple food stations to create your meal. This setup is similar to a parallel circuit, where electricity can choose different paths to flow through. Just like how you can take different routes to get your food and still end up with a full plate, in a parallel circuit, the current can take multiple routes to power different components, ensuring that if one path is blocked (or one station runs out of food), the others still work.
