If you were going to connect two light bulbs to one battery, would you use a series or a parallel arrangement? Why? Which arrangement takes more current from the battery?

Ten bulbs are connected in a series circuit to a power supply line. Ten identical bulbs are connected in a parallel circuit to an identical power supply line.

(a) Which circuit would have the highest voltage across each bulb?

(b) In which circuit would the bulbs be brighter?

(c) In which circuit, if one bulb blows out, all others will stop glowing?

(d) Which circuit would have less current in it?

Consider the circuits given below:

(a) In which circuit are the lamps dimmest?

(b) In which circuit or circuits are the maps or equal brightness to the lamps in circuit (i)?

(c) Which circuit gives out the maximum light?

Which is the better way to connect light and other electric appliances in domestic wiring: series circuits or parallel circuits? why?

Christmas tree lamps are usually wired in series. What happens if one lamp breaks?
