Question

Electrical devices installed in houses, factories and offices are connected in

• A. open circuit
• B. series circuit
• C. parallel circuit
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

parallel circuit

Explanation for the incorrect answer:

(a) Open circuit: When a circuit is open no current is flowing through it it is also known as a broken circuit.

(b) Series circuit: When devices are in a series circuit each device is dependent on the other so the flow of electricity might get interrupted if one appliance is broken.

Explanation for the correct answer:

(c) Parallel circuit: In a parallel circuit no devices are dependent on each other.

Therefore at home, we use a parallel circuit so there is no breakage in electricity if any appliance is broken.

So, the correct answer is (c).
