Question

Household electrical appliances are joined using ________ combination of resistors

• A. Parallel
• B. Alternating
• C. Continuous
• D. Series

Answer 1

The correct option is A Parallel

In a house, there are many electrical appliances that have to run independent of each other. If one appliance is turned on or off it should not affect the other appliances. Thus even if a single appliance is taken out of the circuit (turned off / open switched ) the circuit breaks and hence the current cannot flow in the circuit so every thing turns off.

So even if a single appliance is taken out of the circuit (turned off / open switched ) the circuit breaks and hence the current cannot flow in the circuit .

In parallel, even if an appliance gets damaged or is turned off ,the current always has other independent dedicated parallel paths to other appliances and hence every appliance is still works well.
