Series circuit and Parallel circuit

Series circuit diagram

Parallel circuit

In a parallel circuit, the connecting wires connect the dry cell to each bulb independently

Number of paths which allows electricity to pass through

There is more than one pathway for the electric current to flow through the circuit

Brightness of the bulbs in a parallel circuit

If more than one bulb is connected in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will have the same brightness

Effect on other bulbs if one bulb is fused in a parallel circuit

If one of the bulbs is fused, the other bulbs will still light up because each bulb has its own circuit
