Question

The various distribution circuits are connected in

• A. series
• B. series or parallel
• C. parallel
• D. nothing can be decided

Answer 1

The correct option is C

parallel

Explanation for correct option:

1. The circuit distributions are made in such a way that each of the appliances gets the same and the maximum voltage from the source point.
2. Circuits can be connected in two ways; either series are parallel.
3. Parallel circuits will have minimum resistance and voltage remains the same in each branch and that too will have maximum voltage.
4. Therefore, various distribution circuits are connected in parallel.

Explanation for incorrect options:

1. Series circuits cannot be used as distribution circuits since, all the appliances cannot receive the same voltage, because voltage divides in a series circuit.
2. In a series circuit, the resistance will be more, and hence minimum voltage will be taken to the appliance.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
