Question

compare and contrast what happens when one bulb blows in à series circuit of three light bulbs to what happens when one bulb blows in a parallel circuit of three light bulbs.

Answer 1

SERIES CIRCUIT has only one path in which its current can flow. Opening or breaking a series circuit at any point causes the entire circuit to "open" or stop operating. For example, if even one of the light bulbs in an older-style string of Christmas tree lights burns out or is removed, the entire string becomes inoperable until the bulb is replaced. WHILE THE PARALLEL has only one path in which its current can flow. Opening or breaking a series circuit at any point causes the entire circuit to "open" or stop operating. For example, if even one of the light bulbs in an older-style string of Christmas tree lights burns out or is removed, the entire string becomes inoperable until the bulb is replaced.
