2.07 explain why a series or parallel circuit is more appropriate for particular applications, including domestic lighting

Advantages of parallel circuits:

• Components (e.g. bulbs) may be switched on/off independently.
• If one component breaks, current can still flow through the other parts of the circuit.
• Bulbs maintain a similar brightness.

Advantages of series circuits:

• Fewer wires, cheaper and easier to assemble.
• Uses less power
