What is bad about a series circuit?

Answer 1

In something like a lighting circuit, there are a couple of disadvantages to a series circuit. The first and most important is that all of the devices in the circuit must work. If you've ever dealt with Christmas tree lights you've seen the ones where one burned-out bulb kills the whole string. Second, the more bulbs in the circuit, the dimmer each one gets. But I think the worst one would be: you can't turn off any of the lights. If you turned one off, they'd all go out UNLESS you used a double-throw switch and a whole lot more wire so you could bypass any bulb you wanted to turn off. And when you did it, the lights that were still on would get brighter.

One of the disadvantage of a series circuit is in trouble shooting, you have to check ALL the loads of the circuit. Christmas light is the best example.

No advantage it is just a different What_are_the_disadvantages_in_using_a_series_circuitabove sample is lame because it will take as much time to find to open circuit in a parallel circuit.

In a series circuit, all components receive current in a row, and if the circuit through one is broken then none of the others can receive it.

In a series circuit any discontinuity of current flow will interrupt the rest of the circuit to operate.

*the more components the circuit has, the greater its resistance is.

*if just one component doesn't work, it opens the whole circuit.

Answer 2

It depends on the situation. Series circuits will share the e.m.f throughout ALL of the applications in the circuit.
