Question

Why is a series arrangement not used for connecting domestic electrical appliances?


Open in App
Solution

Concept Used: Series arrangement

Body of the solution:

  1. In the series arrangement, if one instrument in the circuit breaks, it will affect other instruments too.
  2. In series connection, each component of the circuit receives a small voltage, so it cannot get the required power, which cause damage in device.
  3. All electrical appliances have only one switch in series connection , so circuit cannot be turned off or on separately.

Hence, the series arrangement is not used for connecting domestic electrical appliances.
