ADVANTAGE OF PARALLEL CIRCUIT CONNECTION OVER SERIES CIRCUIT CONNECTION.
A series circuit connection is an all or none type of circuit connection. Meaning that if one of the appliances fails, all the other appliances will also fail which is why this type of connection is good only when we want to protect a device.
When a fuse gets burnt for instance due to high current, then the appliance it protects will not be damaged because current will no longer reach it. While series connection is an all or none, parallel circuit connection gives you the opportunity to give the loads and the appliances their individual switch. Parallel connection offers resistance to the flow of current compared to series connection.

A 100 ohms and a 150 ohms resistors connected in parallel will have less effect on electric current compared to 50 ohms and 40 ohms resistors connected in series. In electronic devices, parallel connection is paramount. The cells in a power bank are all connected in parallel. Parallel connection makes electrical energy to last longer. The cells themselves have their internal resistance, so if they were connected in series, some of the energy will be lost overcoming the internal resistance since it’s effect is high when in series than when in parallel.
