Electricity get distributed in the household through electrical circuits. The circuits distribute voltage to receptacles, light and hard wired appliances. These circuits are fed from breakers that are in the distribution panel. The distribution panel is where the utility company's service supply terminates. The distribution panel is the central location where the household circuits originate.

A small single-storey house might have a 10-amp lighting circuit, a 30-amp cooker circuit and a 30-amp ring circuit supplying power sockets in all the rooms. A two- or three-storey house might have separate lighting and power cirucits for the upper floors
The cabling is concealed in ceiling and wall spaces so is not normally visible.

These load terminations can be receptacle circuits, lighting circuits, dedicated appliance circuits. The branch circuit wiring is usually inside the walls and is installed when the home is being built.

What is the job of the house electricity supply?
it supplies electricity all over the house, including the electrical appliances.
Can Socket outlets be connected to different phases?
This is normal practice - but the loading of each phase should be roughly equal. In the UK, electricity is distributed as 3-phase but domestic premises only ever have single phase supply - in any street, the houses will be connected in roughly equal numbers across each phase.
How do we use electricity?
We use electricity in many home appliances such as toasters, TV, stove, oven etc. Without electricity, we wouldn't have much fun and we'd have to cook on logs like the pioneers!We use electricity in many things in our homes: electric lights, home appliances such as toaster, microwave, fridge, tv, washer, dryer, etc.Also we use electricity in our cars (and trucks) which need the electricity stored in on-board batteries. The battery is used to supply electricity to the starter motor which first makes the engine turn so that it can run on its own fuel (gas or diesel). Electricity is then used to recharge the battery, to drive the fuel pumps - which supply the engine with more fuel from the fuel tank - to power the lights, etc.
What happens to your appliances if there is not enough power and the power trips?
If there is not enough power and the power trips, your appliances will lose power abruptly. This sudden loss of power can cause damage to sensitive electronics and appliances, particularly if the power surges when it returns. It is recommended to use surge protectors and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) devices to protect your appliances in such situations.
Does conversion of 220 to 110 volt make electricity bill higher?
No, you are billed on the amount of energy used. All your appliances woud need to be replaced. But if the supply was changed to half the voltage, all the wiring would need to be replaced with thicker wiring, to take double the current.
