Do modern homes use electricity that is arranged in series or in parallel circuits?

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.


Why are most homes wired in parallel circuit rather than a series circuit?

Most homes (probably all homes) are wired in a parallel circuit (actually several parallel circuits and a few dedicated circuits) so that in the event of the failure of one device in the circuit, the rest will continue to function.

What is the difference between usb port printer interface and parallel port Interface?

The primary difference is that a USB interface type printer requires the computer to have a USB port (as all modern computers do) whereas a parallel interface type printer requires the computer to have a parallel (LPT) port (which many modern computers do not have.) There are USB-to-parallel converters however which plug into USB and allow the use of parallel printers. Additionally, many legacy applications only have support for parallel printers, in these cases, in order to use a USB printer it may be necessary to create a virtual parallel port and map the USB printer to it.


Does a printer plug into a parallel port?

It depends on the type of printer! Some printers (older types, mainly) used serial, or parallel ports. Most modern printers use USB or wifi.
