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

Why are inductors connected in series?
Inductors are connected in series in order to increase the inductance in the circuit.
When the output of two 5.6 volts zener diodes circuits are connected in series do you obtain 2x5.611.2 volts?
If you are saying that the Zeners are connected in series, the answer is Yes.
How must an ammeter be connected with respect to a device?
in series
Are the lights in your school connected in series current or parallel current?
Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.
Should a Voltmeter always be connected in a series with a component?
Voltmeter should be connected always in parallel to a circuit ANSWER : IT should be in parallel except when used to measure current. Then it should be placed in series across a shunt.
Which home appliances are connected in parallel and which in series?
All home appliances are connected in parallel.
Why are household appliances almost never connected in series?
Because it one of the household appliances were to "go out" then all the household appliances would "go out" as well.
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.
Why are the appliances connected in parallel?
1) That way, all appliances have the same voltage, which doesn't depend on the number or the characteristics of other connected appliances. This is important for the correct operation of the appliances. 2) That way, switching off one appliance won't disconnect other appliances.
Why are the most appliances connected in parallel?
1) That way, all appliances have the same voltage, which doesn't depend on the number or the characteristics of other connected appliances. This is important for the correct operation of the appliances. 2) That way, switching off one appliance won't disconnect other appliances.
Appliances connected so that they form a single pathway for charges to flow are connected in a?
Circuit
What has to be done in order for electrical appliances to work?
For electrical appliances to work the wires must be correctly connected and plugged in to the receptacle.
What appliances are connected to double circuit breakers used in the distribution panel?
240V appliances, such as range, dryer, air conditioner.
If there are four appliances connected to a single power source in series then the number of current paths is equal to?
