There are two reasons. The first reason is that, for a lamp to operate at its rated power, it must be subjected to its rated voltage (which corresponds to the supply voltage); the only way to subject all the lamps to this voltage is by connecting them in parallel. This is because the same (supply) voltage will appear across each branch of a parallel circuit. The second reason is to ensure that if one lamp goes out, the others continue to operate.

Can parallel circuits be used instead of fuses?
No. Parallel circuits are not fuses. Fuses can be used to protect parallel circuits.
Where are parallel circuits used?
Parallel circuits are used when there are many electronics on the same circuit, such as Christmas lights, for example. If they were on a series circuit, if one bulb went out all of them would go out. In your home, parallel circuits allow you to turn any electrical device on or off, independently of the others.
What are the kinds of electric circuits?
In the electrical trade there are three types of electrical circuits. They are series, parallel and series - parallel. All three types are used every day in building construction and home construction.
What type of circuits are used in most homes-parallel-or-series?
parallel
Which type of Electrical wiring is used in your homes and offices?
Parallel for main circuits and series parallel for lighting circuits.
Is a series or parallel circuit used for filament light bulbs?
parallel
Where is a parallel circuit used?
All house wiring consists of parallel circuits.
What are the type of circuits used in wiring installation?
The two main types are series and parallel circuits. From these two circuits comes combinations of different series parallel circuits depending on what end results you need.
Why are series parallel circuits important in the circuitry used in air conditioning equipment?
why are series -parallel control circuits important in the circuitry used in air-conditioning equipment
Type of circuit that is used in house wiring?
Both series and parallel circuits are used What_types_of_circuits_are_used_in_homes. 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.
Why are series-parallel control circuits important in the circuitry used in air-conditioning equipment?
series circuits are used in all safety's in hvac.
Why are series-parallel control circuits important in the circuitry used in air conditioning equipment?
why are series -parallel control circuits important in the circuitry used in air-conditioning equipment
