Question

What happens on connecting too many appliances at a time to a single socket?

Open in App
Solution

Appliances are connected in parallel connection which leads to overall reduction in resistance in the circuit and more current flows through socket. Too many appliances in same socket means too much load connected parallely across same node. This will further increase the current . If the socket has no fuse, wiring of socket can burn as a result of this.
