Question

What are advantages of connecting series in parallel and series

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,

In a series circuit the equipment is connected one after the other so if any machine gets damaged then the passage of current will be stuck there and the current will not be able to reach the other equipment of the circuit. While in a parallel circuit the current is divided and the equipment gets a separate but equal division of the current, and if there is any damage to any of the equipment then also it won't affect the flow of current in the circuit.

The advantages of the parallel circuit over series circuit are following

(1.) All the external resistors are supplied the same potential difference in a parallel circuit which is not possible in a series circuit.

(2.) Every resistor or component can be individually turned on or off without affecting the rest of the circuit in the parallel circuit which is not possible in a series circuit.
