Any circuit that includes a switch (or other control - or measuring indicator) is a series circuit.
There are no particular advantages or disadvantages of series or parallel circuits. Some circuits require one while other circuits require the other. Frequency filters often require one or the other depending on whether you need a pass or rejection filter.
The examples of everyday series circuits are the flashlight that uses batteries to operate. Another example is the Christmas tree lights.
No, electric lights come in both parallel and series circuit.
Homes are wired in parallel because of basic electrical theory. If something in a series circuit fails, the electrons cannot flow anymore. The WHOLE circuit is now down. Also, the voltage would drop after every resistance. A breaker is on each separate circuit in your house as protection. Those separate circuits are broken down even more as parallel circuits. When you unplug something, the whole circuit isn't affect (well, current, but you can still use your other electronics). Also, voltage must be at a certain level for all our things. In series, the resistance would lower the voltage, which can harm electronics designed for higher voltages.
Voltage is Current multiplied by Resistance. The formulas for calculating the resistance in parallel and series circuits are: Resistors in Series: R(total)=R1+R2+R3+... Resistors in Parallel: 1/(Rtotal)=(1/R1)+(1/R2)+... Current is a measure of Coulombs of charge per unit of time or I=C/t The current depends on the circuit, whether it has capacitors or resistors, and the exact layout. Current 'flows' through wires in much the same way that water flows through pipes, so if the current meets some resistance (a resistor), some of the current will go through the resistor, but the rest will go through any other available path (like in a parallel circuit).

They last longer than series circuits.

Basically if there is a break in a parallel circuit then it will continue to work, whereas if there was a break in a series circuit everything will go off.
series circuits have the load wired one after the other parallel circuits have the loads wired on different branches-the advantage being if a bulb breaks, or another component, the others still have current flowing through them
If they were in series you would have no power every time a tool or light bulb broke down
The two basic types of circuits are series and parallel circuits.
The types of circuits are series and parallel!
FEEDBACK CIRCUITS. In addition to parallel and series circuits, there are also closed and short circuits.
that is called a perfect circuit
In electronics DC stands for direct current. There are three types of circuits in this current. They are the closed, open, and series circuits.
