What type of electric circuit connection is given to appliances in home?

There should be a connection point on the appliance. This needs to be hardwired into an electric box, often with a disconnect or breaker. In some cases you can buy or make a power cord that plugs into a dedicated outlet with a mating connection appropriate to the voltage and amperage requirements of the appliance. If the service does not already exist, you may want to employ an electrician.

∙ 12y agoIn our homes the appliances are connected in parallel. Following are the reasons:
1 In parallel connection, all appliances work independently. If one appliance is switched off or fails , it does not affects the working of other appliances.
2 In parallel connection, as more and more appliances are added, the total resistance keeps on decreasing which allows more amount of current to flow

You need a cell in the circuit because?
Assuming you are talking about electrical circuits: "Cell" is the name given for a battery. Without a cell in the circuit, there is no supply of electricity. Therefore there is no electric circuit.
What is the advantage of every appliance having its own fuse?
There is no advantage of every appliance having its own circuit. The modern household has many appliances and to make a separate circuit for each one would be a waste of money. This is the reason that the electrical code requires split receptacles above the kitchen counters. On the average only one or two appliances would be operating at any one given time.That said, the higher amp draw appliances have to have their own circuits. These types of appliances have an amp draw of close to what the circuit can produce. These types of circuits have breakers and wires sized to the amperage load draw of the appliance.Examples of high amperage draw appliances are clothes dryer, oven, range, hot water tank, refrigerator, freezer, microwave oven, furnace and base board heating. All of the small hand appliances can share a circuit without overloading that particular circuit.
How is a circuit formed?
The amount of electric potential energy per unit of charge that would be possessed by a charged object if placed within an electric field at a given location.See related links below.
An electric current occurs in a circuit when?
An electric current occurs in a circuit when a source of energy (or power, which is energy with a time factor) causes electrons to start slowly moving through the circuit at a speed of a few mm or cm per hour. This allows the quantity that we call charge to race through the circuit at a speed of roughly a million miles per hour, which is what we call electric current. Mathematically defined, electric current is the amount of charge which passes a given point in the circuit each second of time, I = Q/t .The source of energy or power can be as nearby as an energy cell or battery, or can be an electrical generating station located many miles away.
What does fuses and circuit breakers protect the wire or equipment?
A fuse protects a circuit, equipment, or person by being the 'weakest link'. In case of too much current flowing, it opens, breaking the circuit and not allowing electricity to flow. This prevents a continual overcurrent, and associated heat and fire.
What uses series circuit?
the connection in a series circuit would be a most it can be given in safety places

How do you interpret circuit diagrams and other relevant specifications?
you interpret circuit diagrams by following the copy's you have been given too work from, understanding the symbols r show in different format from the actually connection!

What is the definition for current intensity?
Current intensity refers to the amount of electric current flowing through a conductor in a given time, measured in amperes (A). It is a measure of the rate at which electric charge flows in a circuit.
How do you find the power of a bulb when potential difference and current is given?
E = Voltage of the circuit I = Current in the circuit R = Resistance in the circuit Ohm's Law states that given two variables in an electric circuit, the third can be calculated: R=E/I I=E/R E=I*R Power in any circuit can be calculated by one of the following: P=E*I P=I2*R P=E2/R
What is meant by connection state information in a virtual circuit network?
In a virtual circuit network, information exchange occurs in a dedicated path between the source and the destination. Each active path is given some Virtual Circuit number on the fly. The routers in this path need to keep information about this path and to which interface the data, coming from a particular interface, has to be redirected. This information is termed as connection state information. Whenever a new connection is established, this 'connection state information' has to be updated in router's table, and whenever the connection completes exchanging data this 'connection state information' has to be discarded. In short, connection state information is the information required/maintained by a router to redirect data, to proper interface, in an active connection.
What are the various states in a Switched virtual circuit connection in?
Communication in virtual circuit network is an interconnection of dedicated line provided to specific users in which a router would keep and redirect the information coming between the source and destination, both the users will be given virtual number as an address to the path. The connection state information is this situation is the uphold information prepared by the router to redirect it to suitable interface in an active connection

What kind of supply is given to the circuit?
ac supply is given and then in the circuit rectifier converts ac to dc
What is an apreant power?
Power in an electric circuit is the rate of flow of energy past a given point of the circuit. In alternating current circuits, energy storage elements such as inductors and capacitors may result in periodic reversals of the direction of energy flow.
