Study Notes
Parallel Circuit
- Consists of light bulbs with different loops, making each bulb a part of a different circuit
- If one bulb is loosened, taken out, or burned out, the other bulbs still light up
- Each bulb has its own pathway, and a break in one pathway doesn't affect the other bulbs
Series Circuit
- Has only one path of electricity
- If one bulb is affected, the entire circuit is affected and all lights go out
Advantages of Parallel Circuit
- Ideal for homes due to its reliability and safety
- Each light and electrical device has its own path of electricity
- Allows for individual control and functionality, even if one device is turned off
