Question

Household appliances are connected in _______.

• A. Series
• B. Parallel
• C. One by one
• D. They are not connected at all

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Parallel

The household appliances are connected in parallel because a parallel connection has the same potential difference across all the appliances. The current in parallel connection gets divided and hence, the appliances can work independently. If they are connected in series, the current will have to pass through all appliances for any appliance to work. Hence, if an appliance stops working, other appliances also stop working.
