What is the main disadvantage of parallel circuits? Any break in the circuit stops the flow of charges. There are multiple paths for charges to flow. If one bulb goes out, the other bulbs will go out. They are complicated to design and build.

    None of those choices is a good answer. It's true that there are multiple paths for charges to follow, but that's not a disadvantage. The other choices are false statements.

    Answer: They are complicated to design and build.

    Explanation:

    A parallel circuit is the one which has different components connected in between the same ends of a emf source.

    The voltage drop across all the components remains same. There are multiple paths for charges to flow. Greater the resistance of the component, lesser amount of current flows through it. These are complicated to design and build. This is the only disadvantage. It is an advantage in the parallel circuit that when there is break in one part of the circuit, other parts remain unaffected.
