Parallel vs Series

Question 1

What are the advantages of series circuits?

Answer 1

-All componets are controlled by a single switch
-Requires few wires

Question 2

What are the disadvantages of series circuits?

Answer 2

-The componets can’t be controlled seperatley
-If one componet breaks, all others stop working

Question 3

What are the advantages of Parallel circuits?

Answer 3

-The components can be individually controlled by using their own switches
-If one component breaks, others can continue working

Question 4

What are the disadvantages of parallel circuits?

Answer 4

-The amount of wires involved could cause it to be complicated to set up
-All branches have the same voltage as the supply makes it difficult to control the voltage across different components
