Series and parallel circuits are all around us! They show up in our daily lives in different ways. Let's look at some examples:

1. Christmas Lights:

   • Series Circuit: When one bulb goes out, the whole string of lights stops working.
   • Parallel Circuit: Each bulb works on its own. So if one bulb fails, the others still shine.

2. Home Wiring:

   • Parallel Circuits: The lights and outlets in your home are connected in parallel. This setup lets you use multiple devices at the same time without tripping a fuse.

3. Bicycle Lights:

   • Many bikes use series circuits for their front and back lights. This way, they share the power.

4. Electronic Devices:

   • Inside many gadgets, you can find both series and parallel setups for the batteries.

Knowing about these circuits helps us understand how the technology we use every day works!
