If you mean any domestic home which has appliances connected to a mains electrical supply, each applicance is connected to one "leg" of the supply in parallel with other appliances. For instance a table lamp, a television and a music center might all be plugged into one leg of the supply. They are not connected to it in series, they are connected in parallel. Similarly the ceiling lights for each floor of your house will be connected to the mains supply in parallel.

It is of course possible to connect certain simple things such as light bulbs in series and connect them to the supply. That would then be a small series circuit. If two normal lamps were wired in series each would get only half the supply voltage so they would not glow very brightly.

Some other lights which are usually connected in series are lamps to decorate houses or trees at holiday times. These glow brightly because they each need a low voltage. For instance if your house supply is 120 Volts you could use twenty 6 volt bulbs in series, or forty 3 volt bulbs. Or 80 1.5 volt bulbs!

and then you go BOOM! and die. and then nobody will miss you. and have a party. and so does everybody else.

What kind of circuit provides a path for current to wall sockets and appliances in a home?

A parallel circuit provides a path for current to flow to wall sockets and appliances in a home. In a parallel circuit, each device is connected in a separate branch from the power source, allowing current to flow independently to each device. This setup allows appliances to operate independently and provides a safety feature where one device can still operate if another fails.

How do you repair short circuit when all appliances are tested to work properly?

If the appliances all test out and are found to have no short circuits in them then the next step is to check the supply conductors that feed the appliances. This can be easily done by unplugging the appliances and turn on its circuit breaker. When voltage to the appliance circuit causes the breaker to trip. this is the circuit with a fault on it. The most likely place is at the receptacle where the appliance plugs into the power supply. Turn the circuit off at the breaker and inspect the receptacle. If it looks suspicious change it out with a new one.
