If they were in series you would have no power every time a tool or light bulb broke down

What is the great advantage of using the parallel circuits in home?

in parallel circuit voltage remains same ..... so all the appliances run at their rated voltages without having any problem as real power supplied depends on voltage .... p=(v^2)/R


What does a parallel circuit do?

A parallel circuit has more than one resistor (anything that uses electricity to do work) and gets its name from having multiple (parallel) paths to move along . Charges can move through any of several paths. If one of the items in the circuit is broken then no charge will move through that path, but other paths will continue to have charges flow through them. Parallel circuits are found in most household electrical wiring. This is done so that lights don't stop working just because you turned your TV off.

What would be a parallel circuit in your house?

== == A Parallel circuit is one where the current flows in several circuits (or 'branches') at the same time.In the house, the Main Breaker box (or fuse panel) is connected to the city's power lines. The current flows through the main circuit breaker and is then split into 2 or more circuits each of which is protected by its own circuit breaker.Envision a water pipe that is mounted horizontally in the attic. The pipe has 10 one inch holes cut into it, into these holes are fitted 10 one inch pipes that let water flow through each one as required (such as when the toilet is flushed, or the kitchen sink faucet is turned on).So, coming out of the Main Breaker box are several cables (each protected by its own smaller breaker), each going to a separate room, or area (outdoor patio, or detached garage).The reason for parallel electrical circuits is to limit the amount of current in each cable. If there was only one cable for the entire house, all of the current for every electrical device in the house would have to flow through the same cable, as opposed to each room (or area) having its own cable and only using as much current as is required for that room.I hope this helps, if so, please 'Recommend Contributor', and reply to this answer for more info, or a more detailed explanation.


What are the examples of advantages?

I'm not sure how this is related to science and technology, so I'm gonna give a general answer. Being tall when you need to reach something that's out of reach of short people is an advantage. Having a torch or a lighter when you're in dark area is an advantage. Having a cellphone/compass/map with you when you're alone in a forest is an advantage. Hope that helps :P

Why are parallel circuits more applications than series ciruits are?

Loads receive current independently of each other.


What is a circuit with two or more pathways?

Generally, a circuit with multiple paths is called "parallel" because of the structure of the wiring involved. Parallel circuits have identical voltage on all paths, while current through each path is variable; whereas series circuits, having only one path, has constant current, but variable voltage.

What is the advantage of having a parallel circuit as oppose to a series circuit?

depends on the load. if it is lights one can burn out without turning off the others


What is the advantage of having a whole house dehumidifier?

The advantage of having a whole house dehumidifier can benefit the entire family. It filters all the air in a household, it is beneficial with those who have sensitive skin in humid conditions, and is great at keeping moisture out of basements, where moisture tends to collect the most.
