A. is an example of series wiring.
B. is an example of parallel wiring. Assuming those are lights in the first picture, either way will work, but as was mentioned before if one light burns out neither will work. Series and parallel wiring is used all the time with speakers. Older christmas lights used series wiring and when one bulb would go out the entire string wouldn't light... needless to say the newer christmas lights don't use the same style of series wiring. --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |
