Disadvantage and advantage of Christmas light connected in series and parallel.
Answer to Problem 2Q
Solution:
- It is easy to connect the bulb is series connection, while in series connection if one bulb burns then no bulb will lit.
- It is difficult to connect the bulb is parallel connection; while in parallel connection if one bulb burns still remaining bulbs will remain lighting.
Explanation of Solution
Series connection:
Advantage: The biggest advantage of series connection is that it is very easy to build, as you just need to connect the one bulb to another.
Disadvantage: The biggest disadvantage of series connection is that if one bulb is burnt out, then all the remaining bulb will stop functioning as the circuit is broke, and it becomes very difficult to find out the faulty bulb.
Parallel connection:
Advantage:The biggest advantage of parallel connection is that if one bulb is burnt out, then all the remaining bulbs will function properly without any hassle, and it becomes very easy to find out the faulty bulb.
Disadvantage:The biggest disadvantage of parallel connection is that it is very difficult to build, as you need to connect each bulb to the main source.
