Question

How does a parallel circuit differ from a series circuit?

A.
A parallel circuit has one path for electrons, but a series circuit has more than one path.


B.
A series circuit has one path for electrons, but a parallel circuit has more than one path.


C.
A parallel circuit includes more than one resistor, but a series circuit has one resistor.


D.
A parallel circuit has a power source, but a series circuit does not.

Answer 1

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the K12 Quiz

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. A parallel circuit differ from a series circuit in a sense that a series circuit has one path for electrons, but a parallel circuit has more than one path. In a parallel circuit there two or more paths for current to flow while a series circuit only has one.
