Question

Which arrangement is used for domestic circuits ?

• A. Series
• B. Parallel
• C. Series and parallel both
• D. None

Answer 1

The correct option is B Parallel

For Domestic circuits parallel arrangement is always used because:

1. In parallel circuits, if one electrical appliance stop working due to some effect then all other appliances keep working normally.
2. In parallel circuit, each electrical appliance has own switch due to which it can be turn off or on independently, without effecting other appliances.
3. In parallel circuits, each electrical appliance gets same voltage as that of the power supply line.
4. In the parallel connection of electrical appliances, the overall resistance of the house hold circuit is reduced due to which the current from the power supply is high.
