Parallel circuits have ______ path for current to flow.

• A. One
• B. 2
• C. 2 or more
• D. Infinite

Answer: (C)

In a parallel circuit, current has more than one path to flow. This means the circuit branches so the current can travel through multiple routes at once. The current divides between the available paths, with the split depending on how each path’s resistance compares, while the voltage across every path remains the same as the source. The total current is the sum of the currents in all the branches. There can be two or more paths, which is why the correct description is two or more. A single path is characteristic of a series circuit, and while you can have many branches, it’s not described as infinite in practical terms.
