Ten bulbs are connected in a series circuit to a power supply line. Ten identical bulbs are connected in a Parallel circuit to an identical power supply line.
  1. Which circuit would have the highest voltage across each bulb?
  2. In which circuit would the bulbs be brighter?
  3. In which circuit, if one bulb blows out, all others will stop glowing
  4. Which circuit would have less current in it?

  1. Parallel Circuit
because all will have same voltage across them i.e. voltage of battery.
  1. Parallel Circuit
because all have higher voltage across them.
  1. Series Circuit
because if one bulb goes out current won't reach the next bulb.
  1. Series Circuit
because Equivalent Resistance will be less and more current will be drawn in parallel circuit.
