Observe the circuit below. What is the difference between
                  the arrangement of bulbs in series and parallel circuits in
                  a complete circuit?                                                     ZAKI






                                            PARALLEL CIRCUIT

            In a parallel circuit, each bulb is arranged in several branches that are
            parallel to each other.
