Parallel Circuit

In a parallel circuit, if we remove one of the light bulb, what will happen to the other light bulb?

• The other light bulb will stay on.

• The other light bulb will be off

• Both light bulb will be on

• Both light bulb will be off

If we add more light bulbs into a parallel circuit, how will the brightness of the bulbs change?

• It will get dimmer

• It will get brighter

• The brightness will stay the same

• None of the light bulb will be on
