Question
differentiating types of circuits
janelle wants to buy some strings of decorative lights for her home. she is trying to decide between two strings of lights that are wired differently.
how should janelles lights be wired, and why?
Parallel - wiring is better. In a parallel circuit, if one light bulb burns out, the others will still function because each bulb has its own separate path for the electric current. In a series - wired circuit, if one bulb fails, the entire circuit is broken and all bulbs go out.
