In a modern home you use parallel circuit's. The reason why they are parallel circuit and not series is For example: say your kitchen light goes off, if that light goes off the others in your house won't. They also use parallel circuit in schools.

However, when there is a switch in the circuit, that switch is in series with the load, so you could say that electrical wiring is arranged in series-parallel.

Why modern homes use electricity arranged in a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit the voltage is the same throughout and current flow is the total that each device (or load) draws. This is so everthing can be designed to run on one fixed voltage such as 115VAC for most small appliances and electronics. The voltage comes in to your house as 230 VAC between two wires (plus an earth ground) for dryers, ovens and other large energy hogs. 115 VAC is then available from either of these two hot wires relative to earth ground. If series circuits were used the voltage would vary from 115VAC available for a single load to something less as each extra load is added so in effect nothing would then work if they orinally were designed for 115VAC.

A portable a flashlight and a toaster are all examples of which type of circuit?

-- Any kind of radio ... with the possible exception of the simplest 'crystal set' ... comprises both series and parallel circuits. -- A flashlight is a series circuit. (Unless it's a new, modern one, with several LEDs putting out light. Then they're all in parallel.) -- The heaters in a toaster may be in either series or parallel.

What does negative polarity mean with electricity?

Polarity is the direction of flow of electrons throughout a circuit. There are two types of polarity: positive and negative. Postive polarity is of older circuits which means electrons flow from positive to negative. Negative polarity is of more modern circuits and that is the flow of electrons from negative to positive such as on car batteries


Why are semiconductors important in modern technology and electronic devices?

Semiconductors are important in modern technology and electronic devices because they can control the flow of electricity, allowing for the creation of transistors and integrated circuits. These components are essential for the functioning of devices like computers, smartphones, and other electronic gadgets.
