what are the advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuit
Answers
Explanation:
Parallel: Advantages would be that, if it were light bulbs that were the output devices linked in parallel, if one bulb broke the others would continue going. Also, the brightness of the bulbs would be greater than the brightness of bulbs in series. Disadvantages are that there could be a risk of fire in some cases.
Disadvantages of Series connection :-
→ If one electrical appliance stops working due to some defect , than all other appliance also stop working
→ All electrical appliances have only one switch due to which they cannot turned on or off separately
→The appliances do not get same voltage as that of the power supply line .
→ The overall resistance of the circuit increases too much due to which the current from power supply is low.
Advantages of a parallel combination :-
→ If one electrical appliance stops working due to some defect then all other appliance keep working normally
→ Each electrical appliance has its own switch due to which it can be turned on or independently, without affecting other appliances .
→ Each electrical appliance gets same voltage as that of the power supply line .
→ The overall resistance of the household circuit is reduced due to which the current from power supply is high.
