Q

Bulbs in parallel

A

The lights in your house are connected in parallel,if a bedroom light blows the kitchen light is unaffected
The current is split between the bulbs, if they are the Same size,then the currents is split evenly.
The same voltage flows through each bulb,so they are brighter than those in series.
