Kimo has ten light bulbs that he is using to build a light fixture for his living room. If he doesn’t want all of the lights to go out when just one bulb burns out, what type of circuit should he use? Explain your reasoning. Including why another type of circuit wouldn’t work. Give another example of this type of circuit that you encounter in your everyday life.

Answer: Kimo should use a Parallel circuit for his living room.
Explanation:
- A series circuit is a simple circuit in which all loads are connected in a straight line. A parallel circuit is made up of two loops, each carrying its own load and connected to the battery.
- A series circuit is where voltage is divided between loads (i.e., it is a voltage divider). The battery voltage is shared by two light bulbs connected in series; for example, if the battery has 6 volts, each bulb receives 3 volts.
- This issue is avoided using a parallel circuit. Each bulb in a basic parallel circuit receives the total battery voltage. This explains why the parallel circuit's lights will appear brighter than the series circuit's.
- The parallel circuit also has the benefit of maintaining electricity in the other bulbs even if one bulb is burnt out.
- Hence, Kimo should use a parallel circuit.
- The wiring system of a house is an example of a parallel circuit that is used often in daily life.
