Because equipment operating on DC is usually low-power electronic equipment, and it uses a power-supply to convert the house AC supply to DC at the right voltage.
Most appliances needing high power are designed to run on AC because that is the normal supply to houses.
Passive components are components that don't require power being applied in order for them to work. A transformer would be considered an active component because it requires power to operate, while a capacitor, resistor and similar items are considered passive, and many perform multiple functions. For instance, a capacitor will pass AC while storing DC, a resistor can be used to limit voltage or current, etc.
voltage is devided only in series circuit and is the same at the parallel circuit
A transformer will operate with a voltage regulation of zero when it is not supplying a load.
Since voltage is electrical potential difference, to measure the voltage across a component, you place the voltmeter across, or in parallel with, the component.
If you keep all of them in series, then each component in your circuit will have more voltage across it and more current through it, and will dissipate more power (heat). If you keep all of the batteries in parallel, then they must all be rated for the same voltage. Nothing about the circuit's performance will change, but it'll be able to operate longer before the batteries die.

In a parallel circuit, individual components experience the same voltage across them. This is because each component is connected directly across the voltage source, so they each receive the full voltage of the source.
A: A RESISTOR is a passive component it cannot control voltage these components and/or current it can however limit
No, voltage is not the same in parallel circuits. Voltage is constant across components in a series circuit, but in a parallel circuit, each component has the same voltage as the power source.
Parallel circuits work by providing multiple pathways for the flow of electric current. In a parallel circuit, each component is connected to the power source independently, allowing them to operate independently of each other. The key characteristics of parallel circuits include constant voltage across all components, the ability for components to operate independently, and the total current being equal to the sum of the currents through each component.
In a series circuit the total voltage is the sum of the voltage drops across all the component in series. When the voltage drops across each the individual components are added up, they will equal the supply (or applied) voltage.

A passive device is a component that does not require power to operate. A lightning arrester on high voltage lines would fall into this category.
The different peripherals are designed so that one component may fit one slot but not another. This is due to the different voltages certain components require to function. There for if you plug a component into a lower voltage peripheral then it would not work and if you plug a component into a higher voltage peripheral then it poses a fire hazzard as to much voltage can cause over heating and component failure.
-- The voltage across every circuit element is the same, and is equal to the power supply voltage. -- The current through each circuit element is in inverse proportion to its impedance. -- The sum of the currents through all circuit elements is equal to the power supply current.
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
Battery will either be overcharged and burn out numerous electrical components or battery will be undercharged and eventually won't have enough voltage to operate vehicle
