In a series circuit if one bulb breaks all the others go out but in a parallel circuit if one bulb breaks the others stay on.
I think that parallel circuits are used around our house because if one bulb blows the others stay on and if the fridge doesn’t
work the oven will.

You have a good understanding of some of the differences between series and parallel circuits, Ted, great job!
