• Many
• Zero

What is one problem with using a series circuit? 

• It has a lot of series. 
• If one light goes down, they all go down! 
• It doesn't work properly.
• There are no problems. 

What is a benefit of using a parallel circuit?  

• It gets confusing.
• There are no problems.
• If one light goes out, it does not affect the others. 
• If one light goes out, they all go out.
