Question

Consider the following statements.
Household electrical appliances are not usually connected in series, because.
$1$. switching off an appliance would switch off the rest.
$2$. a fuse would blow as soon as one appliance is used.
$3$. power consumption would be very much greater.
$4$. the appliances would get damaged due to high current.
Which of the above statement/s is/are correct?

• A. $1$ only
• B. $2$ and $3$
• C. $3$ and $4$
• D. $1,2$ and $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $1$ only

There is major problem in series combination of appliances that if one of them gets damaged or fused, then the whole circuit does not work and all the other appliances automatically gets switched off. Thus domestic electrical wiring is basically a parallel connection.
So, statement 1 is correct. but rest of the statement are false.
