So that the voltage across all devices is the same. In a series circuit voltage would vary across each load so would depend on what else was in the circuit.

How is the wiring done in houses and or other occupied buildings?

It is in parallel, so one light can be on while others are turned off.


Can parallel circuits be used instead of fuses?

No. Parallel circuits are not fuses. Fuses can be used to protect parallel circuits.


Suppose if that houses 1 through 5 were connected by a series circuit. What would happen if one of the lines in the circuit was damaged?

Any gap in a series circuit causes the whole thing to stop working. That is why houses are wired in parallel with each other, and indeed there are many parallel circuits inside each house.

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 is the name of the circuit that is neither parallel nor series?

Does a parallel circuit have more than 1 resistor?

Parallel circuits normally have more than one resistor. Basically parallel circuits are circuits where the current has more than path to follow. However, there are parallel circuits where there are two switches rather than two resistors.
