Question

In a series circuit, electrons only flow along one path. Given this information, which of the following is an advantage of series circuits? A. If one part of the circuit breaks, the other parts will still be able to operate. B. The voltage is the same everywhere in a series circuit. C. Less resistance is produced as more devices are added to the circuit. D. Series circuits are simpler than parallel circuits.

Answer 1

Answer: D. Series circuits are simpler than parallel circuits.

Explanation:

In series circuit, all the components are connected in single path of current flow.

If one part of the circuit breaks, complete circuit would break and all the other parts also would not operate.

The voltage is not same everywhere. It is different across each component.

In series circuit, net resistance is more as resistance of all the components connected in series are added up.

So, the only advantage of a series circuit is that is simpler than the parallel circuits. Thus, the correct option is D.
