    Parallel circuit
Description:
An electric circuit is the course along which an electric current flows. Electrons carry negative charge and can be moved around a circuit by electrostatic forces. A circuit usually consists of a conductive material, such as a metal, where electrons are held very loosely to their atoms, thus making movement possible. In a parallel circuit, the voltage applied to each component is the same. Each component has its own circuit, so even if one light fails, the others will continue to function.
