Question

Describe an application where a parallel circuit might work better than a series circuit

Answer 1

A parallel circuit may work better than a series circuit in an application with more than one objects receiving electricity. This way, if one of the objects cannot receive electricity and transmit it over, then there is another path for the electricity to follow.

Answer 2

An application where you would prefer a parallel circuit over series would be a string of Christmas lights. If the light string is wired in parallel, when one bulb burns out, it would not effect the red of the string.
