The previous routes that each of the other bulbs took to reach the power source are still present.
Check out this drawing of three parallel bulbs from mstworkbooks. Trace the paths from each bulb, one at a time, by looking at it.
- the 2 terminals of the bulb

- the 2 terminals of the battery.Now imagine that bulb L1 has burned out. The paths you previously traced from L2 and L3 to the battery are still in existence, would you agree? That means that the situation for L2 and L3 has not changed.
