As i was sitting on the toilet i noticed that one of the light bulbs was burnt out, but the others were still shining. Using my knowledge of parallel circuts it hit me. A parallel circut has more than one path for charges to flow through and has more than one resistor. In a parallel circut if one light bulb were to to be disconnected or burnt out it would not affect the other light bulbs. That is why many lights around the house are made of parallel circuts. Who knew?!!!
