20
Q

what is a parallel circuit?

A

different components connected to different parts of a wire, usually having wires parallel to one another.

21
Q

why is a parallel circuit better than a series?

A

If in a parallel circuit one of the components break then the rest of the components on the other wire will carry on working, however, they won’t produce as much energy as if both of the components were working on both wires.

22
Q

The electrical conductor has what type of resistance?

A

Low resistance

23
Q

The electrical insulator has what type of resistance?

A

High resistance
