Question

What are the advantages of parallel circuits? Check all that apply.

If one bulb goes out, the other bulbs go out.
If one bulb goes out, the other bulbs stay lit.
If there is a break in one branch of the circuit, current can still flow through the other branches.
If there is a break in one branch of the circuit, current cannot flow at all.
Parallel circuits are simple to design and build.
Parallel circuits are complicated to design and build.

Answer 1

What would you think the advantages are?

Answer 2

The 2nd one

Answer 3

Check all that apply.

Answer 4

4th one,5th one,and the 3rd one

Answer 5

Look at 1. and at 3.

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

Carefully

Answer 8

So they will be advantages

Answer 9

break the statements down into pairs:

pair 1:
If one bulb goes out, the other bulbs go out.
If one bulb goes out, the other bulbs stay lit.

pair 2:
If there is a break in one branch of the circuit, current can still flow through the other branches.
If there is a break in one branch of the circuit, current cannot flow at all.

pair 3:
Parallel circuits are simple to design and build.
Parallel circuits are complicated to design and build.

for each of these pairs, one of the statements applies for *series* circuits and the other one applies to *parallel* circuits

for example, for pair 1, statement 1 is for series circuits and statement 2 is for parallel circuits. since statement 2 is an advantage (it's advantageous to have bulbs stay lit even if the ones around them go bad)

repeat this logic with the other statements
