If you mean any domestic home which has appliances connected to a mains electrical supply, each applicance is connected to one "leg" of the supply in parallel with other appliances. For instance a table lamp, a television and a music center might all be plugged into one leg of the supply. They are not connected to it in series, they are connected in parallel. Similarly the ceiling lights for each floor of your house will be connected to the mains supply in parallel.
It is of course possible to connect certain simple things such as light bulbs in series and connect them to the supply. That would then be a small series circuit. If two normal lamps were wired in series each would get only half the supply voltage so they would not glow very brightly.
Some other lights which are usually connected in series are lamps to decorate houses or trees at holiday times. These glow brightly because they each need a low voltage. For instance if your house supply is 120 Volts you could use twenty 6 volt bulbs in series, or forty 3 volt bulbs. Or 80 1.5 volt bulbs!
and then you go BOOM! and die. and then nobody will miss you. and have a party. and so does everybody else.

∙ 11y agoEach light is in series with the switch that controls it. Each group of lights, either controlled by a switch or not, is a parallel circuit, i.e. that the lights are in parallel, but the group of lights is in series with the switch.

∙ 11y agoMajor home appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, washers and dryers are each on their own circuit. Your small appliances such as toasters, coffee makers, hair dryers do no each have a dedicated circuit. They can be plugged into any outlet that may be one of several on a single circuit. This same circuit will also carry several switches. It's called a daisy chain. The wire goes from the power source through the breaker box to an outlet, to a switch and on to another outlet or switch, usually in the same area such as a kitchen where you have several outlets and light switches.

What part do these appliances have in common?
No appliances are listed.
How do you repair short circuit when all appliances are tested to work properly?
If the appliances all test out and are found to have no short circuits in them then the next step is to check the supply conductors that feed the appliances. This can be easily done by unplugging the appliances and turn on its circuit breaker. When voltage to the appliance circuit causes the breaker to trip. this is the circuit with a fault on it. The most likely place is at the receptacle where the appliance plugs into the power supply. Turn the circuit off at the breaker and inspect the receptacle. If it looks suspicious change it out with a new one.
Is there a change of short circuit even you off the appliances?
yes
What will they do if you take appliances from a foreclosure?
Appliances ar not typically considered part of the home. It is not uncommon for those who lose a home to foreclosure to take everything that is not attached to the home. In many cases, recent home improvements, such as floors, doors, windows, lighting and plumbing fixtures are taken as well.
