Question

what are the advantages and disadvantages of connecting electrical devices in series and parallel​

Answer 1

Advantages of a series electrical device

• A series electrical device will not get heated easily.
• A dry of flammable thing present to a series will not catch fire, hence the risk will be less.

Advantages of a parallel electrical device

• Every component of the device will get a constant voltage.
• A parallel circuit has the benefit of connecting or disconnecting other electrical appliances to it.
• There are different paths for a current to flow which makes it easier to change path if a default occurs.

Disadvantages of a series electrical device

• All the appliances are connected in a series pattern, one after another.
• If a fault occurs at one of the appliance then the others after it will also not work.

Disadvantages of a parallel circuit

• Lots of wires are used which make it difficult.
• Voltage cannot be increased as the resistance decreases.
