Question

When designing an electric circuit ,we should consider whether a series or a parallel

circuit is better for the intended use. If we want to connect a large number of electric

bulbs for decorating buildings or trees ,then the series circuit is better.

i) Why series circuit is safer?

ii)What kind of problem do electricians face here?

iii)What values would you add with reference to this context?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1)  if we want to connect a large number of electric bulbs for decorating buildings and trees as during festivals such as Diwali or marriage function, then the series circuit is better because all bulbs connected in series can be controlled with just one switch. A series circuit is also safer because the current in it smaller.

2) there is a problem with this circuit which the electricians face. This is because if one bulb gets fused, then the circuit breaks and all the bulbs are turned off. An electrician has to spend a lot of time in locating the fused bulb form among hundreds bulbs, so as to replace it and restore the lighting.

hope it helps :)
