Answer:

All of the bulbs are wired together in a series circuit. In a series circuit, if one bulb burns out, the circuit as a whole is destroyed. It is easy to construct a series circuit. All of the builds in a parallel circuit have their own wires, thus even if one construction fails, the others continue to function since they have their own wires. Building a parallel circuit is difficult.

Answer:

In a series circuit all of the bulbs are connected to one wire. If one bulb burns out in a series circuit, the entire circuit is broken. A series circuit is simply to build. In a parrel circuit all of the builds have their own wire meaning if one build goes out the rest stay since they have their own wires. A parrel circuit is complex to build.
