The advantages of parallel circuits are that if one component, e.g. light bulb fails, the other ones will keep functioning. The problem with series circuits are that if one light bulb fails, the others are also affected.

∙ 12y agoIN A SERIES circuit if one lamp, led... turns off or blows, the whole circuit turns off. Imagine a Christmas tree with lights in a series circuit. Of one light turns off all of the others would turn off. Therefore you would have to check each light in turn. In a parallel circuit however, if one led (light emitting diode) turns off it will be the only one that is off. The otherswill work as if nothing happened

One of the advantages of parallel circuits is the fact that they ensure that all components in the circuit has the same voltage as the source. All bulbs in a string of lights, for example, will have the same brightness.
Another well popularized advantage of the importance of a parallel circuit is the case of Christmas tree lights. At one point in time, if one light on the string of lights on the tree burnt, all the lights would go out and you would have to look one by one to see which one was the cause. This is because it was - guess what - a series circuit! In our modern parallel circuits on Christmas trees if a light goes out the rest will still light.

Why parallel combination is preferred over series combination?
In a parallel circuit (with more than one branch), the current will still flow in the other circuit(s) even if there is a break in one circuit. This is not so with a series circuit, since it does not have branches: if there is a break in the circuit, there is a break in the circuit.
What is the advantage of a parallel circuit over a series circuit?
In a parallel circuit the failure of one bulb reduces the light of that one bulb. In a series circuit the failure of any bulb causes all bulbs to stop producing light because the circuit itself fails. A break in a series circuit stops the current flow to the whole circuit. A break in a parallel circuit stops the flow only in that parallel branch, not the whole circuit. This independence from system loss by one failure is a parallel advantage.
Advantages of fast adder over parallel binary adder?
serial adder: 1) Slower 2) It uses shift registers 3) IT requires one full adder circuit. 4) It is sequential circuit. 5) Time required for addition depends on number of bits. Parallel adder: 1) Faster 2) It uses registers with parallel load capacity 3) No. of full adder circuit is equal to no. of bits in binary adder. 4)It is a combinational circuit 5)Time required does not depend on the number of bits
Why is voltage split over a series circuit?
Voltage drop due to the resistance present in the series circuit causes voltage split over a series circuit.
In a series circuit How does the voltage from a battery compare to the voltages on each load?
The sum of the currents through the branches of a simple parallel circuit is the current that flows through the voltage source.Kirchoff's current law: The signed sum of the currents in a series circuit is zero. The sum of the currents in the branches represents one effective path, which is in series with the voltage source, so the two effective currents must be the same.
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.
Why parallel combination is preferred over series combination?
In a parallel circuit (with more than one branch), the current will still flow in the other circuit(s) even if there is a break in one circuit. This is not so with a series circuit, since it does not have branches: if there is a break in the circuit, there is a break in the circuit.

Why is voltage split over a series circuit?
Voltage drop due to the resistance present in the series circuit causes voltage split over a series circuit.
Which uses more energy parallel circuit or a series circuit?
That depends. For example, if the circuit is consisted of two resistors, 2 ohms each, the equivalent resistance (Req) of these two resistors in series is 4 ohms, and the Req of these two resistors in parallel is 1 ohm. If the same voltage is applied, say 4 V.power consumed in a resistance = V2/R.The parallel circuit: Power = 4 * 4 / 1 = 16 [W].The series circuit: Power = 4 * 4 / 4 = 4 [W].With everything else the same, a parallel circuit consumes more energy than a series circuit.Note that circuits of only simple resistors are discussed. You need to consider each circuit on its merit.================================AnswerIt depends. In both cases, the total energy expended will be the sum of the energies expended by each individual load.
What is a disadvantage of using a parallel circuit?
While a parallel conversion minimizes the risk of major flaws in the new system causing irreparable harm to the business; it also means the cost of running two systems over the period must be incurred. Because running two editions of the same system on the computer could place an unreasonable demand on computing resources, this may be possible only if the old system is largely manual
What are the advantages of arranging bulbs in parallel?
You spread the voltage out equally over them all.
