I have a shrewd idea and my textbook isnt helping that much!

i) Whathappens to the current ina circuit if more lamps are added in series?

ii) What happens to the current if more amps are added in parallel?

iii) What are the advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuis?



Thanks =]

i) Nothing happens to the current.

ii) Current decreases

iii) Series:
Advantages: I can't remember, but probably something to do with it having a uniform current or something.
Disadvantages: If one component connected in the series blows out, the whole circuit is gone

Parallel:
Advantages: Same amount of voltage on each parallel circuit as the voltage of power source, and 1 component in the parallel circuit blowing out would not affect the rest of the circuit
Disadvantage:Forgot...probably something to do with current getting split up, so less power gets across each parallel circuit?
