Question

Cells connected in parallel increase the ___ of both the bulb and the cell.

Solution

In a series connection, the bulb glows brighter due to a larger value of current flowing through the circuit. However in a parallel circuit, the lifetime of both the bulb and the cell is increased. Therefore in some cases, a parallel circuit is preferred.
