If your home were wired in series, then . . .
-- Everything in the house would need to be turned on all the time.
-- If anything in the house got unplugged or turned off, then
everything else in the house would go dead.
-- Whenever something got turned off or unplugged or burned out,
there would be no way to tell which thing it was. You would just
have to go around the house (in the dark) trying them all, until you
got lucky.
-- The devices that need the most power ... like the air conditioner or
the electric stove ... would get the least power, and would not work.
-- The devices that need the least power ... like the clock radio or the
night-light ... would get the most power, and would burn out.
-- If you ever changed a light bulb and put in a different size from the one
that was there before, the brightness of every other light in the house
would change.
This is why most people choose parallel circuits for their homes.
What else can I help you with?
Why are parallel circuits more applications than series ciruits are?
Loads receive current independently of each other.
When Does it matter if a gas heater fan blower is wired reverse polarity?
It matters if the gas heater fan blower is wired with reverse polarity because it can cause the motor to run in the wrong direction, resulting in inefficient air circulation or overheating. This can also potentially lead to damage to the motor or the electrical components of the heater. It is important to have the blower wired correctly to ensure the proper functioning and safety of the gas heater.
Does electric current cause a coil wired to become an electric bell?
Yes, when an electric current flows through a coil wired to an electric bell, it creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field causes the coil to move and strike a bell, producing a sound.
Which is a source of ac current a) a battery b) a generator c) chemical cells wired in series d) chemical cells wired in parallel?
b) a generator. Generators create alternating current (AC) by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.
Are automobile headlights wired in parallel or in series?
Automobile headlights are typically wired in parallel. This means that each headlight is connected directly to the power source independently, allowing them to operate separately from each other. This setup ensures that one headlight can still work if the other one fails.
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 is a wireline?
The wired telephone connection from your house to the phone co wired circuits.
Schools and factories are wired in?
are factorys schools and homes wired in series
How are lights in homes wired?
carefully.
Is true or false circuits in a home are rarely wired in parallel?
False
Why are buildings wired using parallel circuits rather than series circuits?
So you don't have to turn on all the lights at the same time.
Explain why buildings are wired using parallel circuits rather than series circuits.?
Homes are wired in parallel because of basic electrical theory. If something in a series circuit fails, the electrons cannot flow anymore. The WHOLE circuit is now down. Also, the voltage would drop after every resistance. A breaker is on each separate circuit in your house as protection. Those separate circuits are broken down even more as parallel circuits. When you unplug something, the whole circuit isn't affect (well, current, but you can still use your other electronics). Also, voltage must be at a certain level for all our things. In series, the resistance would lower the voltage, which can harm electronics designed for higher voltages.
Where do you use parallel circuts?
My house is wired using parallel circuits. How did they wire yours?
What is differentiate of parallel and series connection?
series circuits have the load wired one after the other parallel circuits have the loads wired on different branches-the advantage being if a bulb breaks, or another component, the others still have current flowing through them
How are homes and schools wired?
their are sometimes they are ugly when i see one i bomated
How you would wire an electrical circuit?
There are many types of electrical circuits and each one is wired differently. Without knowing the specific circuit that needs to be wired, this question can not be answered.
