You got it! Put switches on each of the branches in the parallel circuit. In our example here, the electricity can flow to both of the light bulbs. But one of the switches has been opened, so that light is off. Even though that path is broken the electricity can still follow the other path, so the other bulb remains lit. This means that a parallel circuit with a break in it could still work. See an example on the next page. Electric Circuits Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3 | Page 4 | Page 5 | Page 6 | Page 7 Resources
