write the advantage and disadvantage of series and parallel circuit
Answers
Answer:
Series Combination:
Advantages:
1. Series circuits do not overheat easily. This makes them very useful in the case of something that might be around a potentially flammable source, like dry plants or cloth.
2. Series circuits are easy to learn and to make. Their simple design is easy to understand, and this means that it’s simple to conduct repairs .
3. we can add more power devices, they have a higher output in terms of voltage .
4. The current that flows in a series circuit has to flow through every component in the circuit. Therefore, all of the components in a series connection carry the same current.
Disadvantages:
1.If one point breaks in the series circuit,the total circuit will break.
2. As the number of components in a circuit increases ,greater will be the circuit resistance
Parallel combination :-
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.
