Because it one of the household appliances were to "go out" then all the household appliances would "go out" as well.

Which home appliances are connected in parallel and which in series?

All home appliances are connected in parallel.


What is the total power when several electrical appliances are connected in series?

In a normal household configuration, the appliances are connected in parallel. This allows each of them to draw the amount of current they were designed to operate on. Unless you wired your own extension cord, you cannot connect them in series. Theoretically speaking (I hope you keep this theoretical), the loads in series increases the resistance of the circuit, which decreases the current through the circuit. None of the appliances would work properly. The more you connected, the less functional they become. There may be some other safety issues with their design compromised, but the appliances would not function properly and it is not possible to answer the question without some information about the appliances and power specs for each. Then it can be translated into a mathematical question.


Where would you find series circuits?

-- Older/cheap Christmas lights.-- Switches for lights and other household appliances, but not the household outlets.


Why Wiring in our house connected in parallel?

When things are connected in parallel, they all get the same mains voltage. When you connect things in series the voltage they get depends on the number of units in the series. Household appliances all need mains voltage so all electrics deliver this. (Apart from connecting up batteries, nearly all electrics are set up in parallel mode).


Why capacitors are almost always connected in parallel and not in series?

to provide a discharge path for voltages.


Why resistors are connected parallel with current source?

The can be connected in parallel, in series, or in some combination. Household appliances are connected in parallel, because that way:1. Each appliance receives the full voltage. Results are thus more predictable. For example, a light bulb will give the same light, no matter whether it is the only light bulb, or whether others are also connected.2. Each appliance will continue working even if the others are switched off.


Are home appliances part of a circuit?

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.


Why are household appliances connected in parallel?

You want every electrical device in the house to have equal access to the 117 volt utility supply at thewall outlets. That means that every device in the house must be connected directly to the pair of wiresentering the house from the pole ... which is a pretty good definition of a "parallel" configuration.Another reason, purely pragmatic, for not wiring household devices in series: Just like the old-fashionedtechnique for constructing strings of Christmas-tree lights ... if household devices were connected in series,then every device in the house would have to be switched ON, otherwise none of them would work !If any single device were switched off, then there would be no current path through the series string.And here's another little thing to consider: In a series string, each individual resistance in the stringhas an influence on the current through the string. As a practical matter, that means that if everythingin the house were connected in series, then as the toaster heated up and its resistance increased, all thelights in the house would dim, and the refrigerator would run a little slower. Definitely inconvenient.


Is it connected in series or parallel?

series


Why appliances seldom connected in series?

A: They are designed to operate from 120v AC which is readily available in every house. To make them work in series likes a refrigerator the wires will have to carry twice the load to assume the same power needed not very desirable or practical


If there are four appliances connected to a single power source in series then the number of current paths is equal to?

the answer is 1.. either 1 or 3 not sure. its deffinatly not 2 or 4 its deffinatly 1 XD
