Series connections involve resistors in a sequence, with all light bulbs lighting up only when the switch is closed and brightness decreasing with more bulbs. Parallel connections allow individual control of light bulbs, maintaining brightness even if one bulb is removed or defective.
Insights
- In series connections, all components are in a single path, impacting each other directly, making them dependent on the entire circuit's integrity.
- Parallel connections allow individual components to function independently, ensuring that the failure of one component does not affect the operation of others within the same circuit.

Recent questions
What is a series connection?
A series connection involves resistors connected in a sequence, where electrical current flows through each resistor one after the other.
How do light bulbs behave in a series connection?
In a series connection, all light bulbs only light up when the switch is closed. If one light bulb is removed or defective, all light bulbs go out. The brightness of light bulbs decreases as more are added.
What is a parallel connection?
A parallel connection involves resistors connected side by side, allowing each light bulb to be switched on and off individually.
How do light bulbs behave in a parallel connection?
Light bulbs in a parallel connection shine as brightly as a single light bulb. If one light bulb is removed or defective, others continue to light up independently.
Where is series connection commonly used?
Series connection is utilized in fairy lights and devices that require multiple voltage sources due to the sequential flow of electrical current through resistors.
