House and office wiring tends to be set out in a parallel arrangement. The reason is that a parallel circuit can deliver the same voltage to all devices, normally 110V or 230V.

Electrical equipment is designed to run on a specific voltage, depending on the power supply standard in the region. If manufacturers know what voltage will be available, it is easy to build equipment that will run on that voltage.

A series circuit passes the same current through all devices in the series network and that means that each device will rely on all others to operate. Within a single electronic circuit, series networks are common and and form a fundamental part of electronics operation.

The series circuits in a house are normally limited to the internal circuits of electrical equipment rather than the power supplies that run throughout the house.
