    Series and Parallel Circuits
    Hi Everyone!
    I wasn't too sure where to put this question so I think this is close enough. I just needed some help on series and parallel circuits. If you know anything about them, Can you give me two advantages of each and two disadvantages of each? It would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all so much for reading!

    The advantages and disadvantages are affected by your usage of each type of circuit. What are you using the circuit for or what is the application?

    All stop buttons MUST be in series
    All Start buttons MUST be in parallel

    Two lights connected in parallel will be full brightness.
    When one light fails the other will contiue to work.


    Two lights connected in series will both be half as bright.
    When one light fails the other light will not work.

    Advantages and disdvantages depend on what you want to achieve
