Question

Where is any electric circuit switches are connected?

Answer 1

The concept used: Household circuits

Body of the solution:

• Switch is used to off or on an electric appliance or devices in an electric circuit.
• Switches are always connected to the live wire because the live wire carries a voltage of 220 V and the passage of this voltage can be disabled by switching off the circuit.
• Domestic appliances should be connected in parallel connection, since in parallel connection, switching on or off an electric appliance has no effect on other electric appliances.
• The advantage of such an arrangement is that, if a device in an electric circuit breaks downs, it will not affect other devices.
• When distribution circuits are in parallel, each circuit can be operated independently.
