Answer:

One of the disadvantages of series circuit is that if you connect the light bulb in series, those won't give much light. So it's better to use parallel instead even if it consumes more power. A parallel circuit would be better.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a series circuit, the sum of the voltages consumed by each individual resistance is equal to the source voltage. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component.

Hope this helps, kind person.
