    1. If one load in a parallel circuit fails or is disconnected, the other loads will continue to function because they are connected to the power source through separate paths.
    2. The voltage across each load in a parallel circuit is the same, so the loads can operate at their optimal voltage and function properly.
    3. The total resistance of a parallel circuit is equal to the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances. This means that the total resistance of a parallel circuit is generally lower than any of the individual resistances, resulting in a higher overall current flow and increased power delivered to the loads.
    4. It is possible to independently control the current flowing through each load in a parallel circuit by adjusting the resistance of each load. This allows for more precise control over the operation of the circuit
