why is only the parallel connection used for connecting domestic appliances?

Open in App

Solution

Parallel connection is used in house rather than series connection because of the following reasons:
In parallel connection all the appliances get the required current and a common voltage to run.
Every appliance has its own switch to ON or OFF it, which doesn’t affect the other appliances connected to the line.
A fault in one appliance will not affect the working of the other appliances.
