Question

Why are appliances connected in parallel in the household wiring system?

Answer 1

Household appliances connected in parallel:

1. In a house, there are many electrical appliances that have to run independently of each other.
2. If one appliance is turned on or off it should not affect the other appliances.
3. This is not possible if all the appliances were connected in a series arrangement as there would be one switch that either switch all of them on or off.
4. When appliances are connected in a parallel arrangement, each of them can be put on and off independently. This is a feature that is essential in a house's wiring.
5. All the appliances get their rated voltage so that they function efficiently.
6. All the components can have their independent switch to control them.
7. If one appliance gets faulty, it doesn't affect the other appliances.
