No. Plugs, lamps and 220 V a.c. items are in parallel with the breakers.
CorrectionAll loads are in parallel with the supply voltage, but in series with the circuit breakers or fuses.

Why is it not practical to use series connection in your homes?
in a series circuit, if any one item is turned off or unplugged, the entire circuit fails.
How many paths does a parallel circuit have?
a parallel circuit has 2 or more paths.a series circuit has 1 path.a parallel circuit is better for homes and school
Why are most homes wired in parallel circuit rather than a series circuit?
Most homes (probably all homes) are wired in a parallel circuit (actually several parallel circuits and a few dedicated circuits) so that in the event of the failure of one device in the circuit, the rest will continue to function.

What type of circuits are used in most homes?
a house is a big paralel circuit but it is possable to wire somthing in series in a house like if your refrigerator is on its own circuit it would be a series circuit but its full of more wiring itself. I guess the best answer would be a complex cicuit,
What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?
Series, because everything in the circuit is in series.
What kind of circuit is most common in your homes?
The most common circuit is the parallel circuit. If you notice, on a chandelier, if one goes out the rest stay on. If you would have a series circuit then your house lights would be very dim because of all the usage of lights.
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
What type of circuit are there?
parallel circuit / series circuit / and a short circuit
Do modern homes use electricity that is arranged in series or in parallel circuits?
In a modern home you use parallel circuit's. The reason why they are parallel circuit and not series is For example: say your kitchen light goes off, if that light goes off the others in your house won't. They also use parallel circuit in schools. However, when there is a switch in the circuit, that switch is in series with the load, so you could say that electrical wiring is arranged in series-parallel.
