U2 will continue being equal to U3 and won't change.cnh1995 said:Consider three bulbs in parallel and U1=U2=U3. If bulb 1 fails, how will it affect U2 and U3?
Right. Hence, the remaining bulbs continue to light.prishila said:U2 will continue being equal to U3 and won't change.

When lights are connected in parallel, each light has its own individual path to the power source. This means that even if one light is turned off, the other lights will continue to receive electricity and remain lit.
In a parallel circuit, the total current is divided between each branch, so when one light is turned off, the current is still able to flow through the other branches and keep the remaining lights on.
No, adding more lights in a parallel circuit will not make them all turn off when one is switched off. As mentioned earlier, each light has its own individual path, so turning off one light will not affect the others.
Yes, you can add a switch to each individual branch in the parallel circuit. This way, when one switch is turned off, it will break the circuit and turn off all the lights connected to that branch.
Parallel circuits are often used for connecting multiple lights because they are more efficient. In a series circuit, if one light burns out, the entire circuit will be broken and all the lights will turn off. In a parallel circuit, if one light burns out, the other lights will remain lit.
