Most practical circuits are parallel circuits. A parallel circuit has two advantages: (1) the voltage appearing across each branch is the same as the supply voltage and, (2) on one branch becomes disconnected, then the other branches continue to work. The reason that (1) is important is because for a load to operate at its rated power, it must be subject to its rated voltage which is (usually) the supply voltage. All homes are connected in parallel, as are the various circuits in (for example) a car.
