What is the advantage of using a parallel circuit as opposed to a series circuit?

If a component of a parallel circuit fails, there are complete pathways for electricity to allow the remaining components to carry on functioning. ( For instance if the living room light bulb fails, the kitchen light can still work.) Also, if you link several bulbs in series, the current through them drops and they are dimmer than one on its own, but this doesn't happen with a parallel circuit.

What is the main meaning of series circuit?
"One after the other," as opposed to a parallel circuit, or "side by side."
What is the advantage of parallel circuit from serios circuit?
In parallel ckt voltage in all branches will be same, its different in series ckt
What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
What are the advantages of series circuit?
The advantage of series is it uses less current than parallel
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
What is the advantage of a parallel circuit over a series circuit.?
In a parallel circuit, all the external resistors are supplied the same potential difference which is not possible in a series circuit. Also in a parallel circuit, every resistor or component can be individually turned on or off without affecting the rest of the circuit.
What type of circuit are there?
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
Types of electrical circuit?
Series and parallelImproved AnswerThere are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex. 'Complex' is a 'catch-all', used to describe circuits that are not series, parallel, or series-parallel. An example of a 'complex' circuit is a Wheatstone Bridge circuit.
What type of circuit is one in which all loads are connected in a single loop-?
That is described as a circuit in series, as opposed to a circuit in parallel, in which there is more than one loop.
Is the electric circuit in your home a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
Parallel.
What is a parallel series?
There are four categories of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.As its name suggests, a 'series-parallel' circuit is a combination of both series and parallel elements.
What is the advantage of having a parallel circuit as oppose to a series circuit?
depends on the load. if it is lights one can burn out without turning off the others
