When you add loads in a serial fashion the current reduces each time since the voltage remains constant. This would mean that your light bulbs and appliances would not work properly. Further, things would be constantly changing. In parallel, the current is free to increase as needed as loads are increased, up to the capacity of the circuit.
It is simple, in parallel connection the voltage is same and current is varied. hence it is used in household wiring. that's why even if you switch off one lamp then another lamps will glow without changing in it's brightness.
Similarly in the case of any accident if one equipment failed then it ll not affect the other equipment, where if u uses a series then the whole system shuts down.

Where are both parallel and series circuits used?
Parallel circuits are commonly used in homes for electrical outlets and lighting, as they allow each device to operate independently. Series circuits are used in applications like holiday lights and certain types of sensors where all components must pass the same current.
Where would you use a parallel circuit?
Parallel circuits are commonly used in homes and buildings for electrical wiring to power different appliances because each device can operate independently of the others. They are also used in electronic devices where different components need to receive the same voltage.
How many paths does a parallel circuit have?
a parallel circuit has 2 or more paths.a series circuit has 1 path.a parallel circuit is better for homes and school
Does the power company wire all homes in the neighborhood in series?
No, that would be quite silly of them. If any part of a series circuit is broken at all, the whole system fails. Houses are hooked into the lines in parallel - if a house then blows out its fuses or circuitbeakers, it will not affect the rest of the neighbourhood (apart from slightly raising the average current amongst them).
Explain why homes are wired in parrellel circuits?
If your home were wired in series, then . . . -- Everything in the house would need to be turned on all the time. -- If anything in the house got unplugged or turned off, then everything else in the house would go dead. -- Whenever something got turned off or unplugged or burned out, there would be no way to tell which thing it was. You would just have to go around the house (in the dark) trying them all, until you got lucky. -- The devices that need the most power ... like the air conditioner or the electric stove ... would get the least power, and would not work. -- The devices that need the least power ... like the clock radio or the night-light ... would get the most power, and would burn out. -- If you ever changed a light bulb and put in a different size from the one that was there before, the brightness of every other light in the house would change. This is why most people choose parallel circuits for their homes.
What type of circuits are used in most homes-parallel-or-series?
parallel
Which type of Electrical wiring is used in your homes and offices?
Parallel for main circuits and series parallel for lighting circuits.
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.
How is the wiring done in houses and or other occupied buildings?
It is in parallel, so one light can be on while others are turned off.
What do electrical circuits in homes use?
parallel

Why do modern homes use parallel?
we use parallel circuits because with parallel circuits the electricity goes through the whole houseBy: Harjeet Badhan Parents: Harbhajan Singh and Suamn Jeet
Are the circuits at homes connected in series or parallel and why?
They're connected in parallel, this is so that everything connected to the circuits will receive the same voltage. Also, if everything was connected in series, if one of the components died, everything would be dead (think of christmas lights)
Why are most homes wired in a parallel circuit rathen than a series circuit?
Series circuits , the voltage is drawn by instruments progressively from source to end whereas parallel circuits give a constant voltage through all the points connected parallel to the source hence the name.In series circuit,the more the power drawn by an instrument,the lesser the voltage available for the next instrument connected after it serially from the source. Hope this solves the question
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.
Where are both parallel and series circuits used?
Parallel circuits are commonly used in homes for electrical outlets and lighting, as they allow each device to operate independently. Series circuits are used in applications like holiday lights and certain types of sensors where all components must pass the same current.
Explain why buildings are wired using parallel circuits rather than series circuits.?
Homes are wired in parallel because of basic electrical theory. If something in a series circuit fails, the electrons cannot flow anymore. The WHOLE circuit is now down. Also, the voltage would drop after every resistance. A breaker is on each separate circuit in your house as protection. Those separate circuits are broken down even more as parallel circuits. When you unplug something, the whole circuit isn't affect (well, current, but you can still use your other electronics). Also, voltage must be at a certain level for all our things. In series, the resistance would lower the voltage, which can harm electronics designed for higher voltages.
