Question

Which type of circuit would be best to use for lights used for decorations? Question 1 options: Series circuit. One bulb could go out and the strand will stay on. Series circuit. One bulb could go out and the rest go out. Parallel circuit. One bulb goes out and the rest go out. Parallel circuit. One bulb could go out and the strand will stay on.

Answer 1

Answer:

One bulb could go out and the strand will stay on.

Explanation:

In series circuit, there is only one path provided for the current to flow. So, all the lights are required to be in working condition, for the others to work. And if anyone light bulb goes out, the circuit will become incomplete and the rest of the strand will also go out. Because there is only one path for current flow which is now broken.

On the other hand, in parallel circuits, each light bulb has a separate connection with the source. Current path to each bulb is independent of the others. Therefore, if one bulb goes out, the rest of the strand will stay on.

So, the correct option is:

One bulb could go out and the strand will stay on.
