What type of electrical current is used to transmit electricity to our homes and workplaces?

Both series and parallel circuits are used in the home. If the circuit is a dedicated circuit which means that there is only one device in the circuit, then it is a series circuit. All the rest will be classed as parallel circuits.

∙ 12y agoParallel electric circuits are used for household wiring. So the malfunctioning of one device may not effect the power supply to other device. If series circuits are used failure of one device stops power supply for all other devices.
AnswerMost countries use radial systems, while the UK is probably unique in that it uses a ring main system for supplying its socket outlets.

How is called flow of electricity?
An electrical current.
What is the ability to transmit electrical currents called?
The ability of a material to transfer heat or electric current is called conductivity.
What is an electrical circit?
The path through which a current flows is called a circuita electrical line that voltage runs through
How is electrical current different then static electricity?
Electrical current is all about charges in movement.
The ability of a muscle to transmit electrical current is termed?
action potential
How might you Draw an analogy between the nerves in the human body and electrical wires?
nerves send a message to the brain :: electrical wires send a current to whatever they are hooked up too. A better Answer: Nerves and electrical wire both transmit electricity.
Current electricity vs electrical current?
Current or "electrical current" (to distinguish it from current in a river) is the flow of electrons in a wire which can perform useful work. The current can be generated by a battery or a generator, or by other means. Current electricity is not a commonly used term. "Current electricity" is the science of electric currents, and it means the same thing as Electrodynamics. Example: the Electrical Sciences can be divided into two parts: Static Electricity or Electrostatics, and Current Electricity or Electrodynamics.
What is a current in electricity?
The flow of electrons is called an electrical current.
What is and electrical current?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
What electrical current do ships use?
Thier electrical current will be from the solar energy converter to electricity.
Is it possible to transmit electricity as electromagnetic waves?
Well, when you transmit something as an electromagnetic wave, it is no longer an electric current, since an electromagnetic wave doesn't involve movement of charges. However, you can convert electrical energy into an electromagnetic wave, transfer that, and then convert it back to an electric current at the receiving end.
How is called flow of electricity?
An electrical current.
Does electrical leakage waste electricity?
Electrical leakage does waste electricity. Any current that does not do useful work is wasted.
How electricity transported in high voltage but not in current?
If electricity is transmit at high current then this will requires heavy conductors,be it copper or aluminium. This will increase the cost of transmission. Also, the heating effects i.e the energy lost due to head will increase as well. Thus, it's never ideal to transmit electricity at high current.
What does static electricity and current electricity have in common?
They both cause by electrical charge
