Here is my group and I’s dream house that we designed for this project.

Starting with the lower floor, the closest part of the house, the porch, is a great place for lounging as it comes with two chairs and a combination of an umbrella and a coffee table. On the far right of the lower floor is the kitchen and dining room, perfect for making a great meal for several people and then eating it all together. On the far left is the living room which comes with a L-shaped couch and a massive TV that comes with an equally massive speaker and subwoofer system, great for binging shows and general relaxation. Moving onto the upper floor, the right side is the bedroom of the house, with a big bed in the middle and a desk and laptop for productivity. On the left side is the bathroom which has everything you’d need, a sink, a toilet and a shower.

For the wiring of my groups house, we ran into plenty of trouble implementing both parallel and series circuits, specifically that our parallel/complex circuits would only provide power to one light instead of all of them. We solved this problem by replacing our complex circuit with two series circuits in the lower floor, the upper floor also has a series circuit running through the back of the house

Questions

a) Unscrewing one lightbulb in a series circuit should cause all the lightbulbs to go out as the lightbulb that you unscrew is responsible for bringing power to the other bulbs.

b) Unscrewing one lightbulb in a parallel circuit would only affect the bulb that gets unscrewed and nothing else due to each bulb having its own way of reaching the power source, making the other bulbs work just fine.

c) In a situation where you have a lightbulb in a series circuit and two lightbulbs in parallel circuits, the lightbulb in series would have great intensity but the lightbulbs in parallel will struggle to light up as much, reaching a brightness somewhere between half the series bulb and having no power completely due to relying on power that is already being used by the lightbulb closest to the power source.

d) In the previous scenario, if you were to instead unscrew one of the lightbulbs in parallel, the other lightbulb in parallel will get much brighter due to not needing to share its power with another bulb, reaching a similar brightness/intensity of the lightbulb in series.
