Question

Why do we use parallel circuit arrangement for domestic wiring?

Open in App
Solution

Hint: In parallel arrangement voltage across each appliance is same and appliances operates separately.

Part 1 : Constant voltage across each appliance.
In parallel connection of domestic appliances, each connection will have same potential difference which is equal to potential difference of the source. So we are able to deliver the constant required voltage across each appliance and the appliance can draw draw the current as needed.

Part 2 : Advantage in case of fault of one appliance.
In case of parallel connection every appliance operates separately, so if one of the appliance fuses/blows off, other appliances will be unaffected.
