If connected in series, the same current passes thru all the appliances. So, always all of them are in the same state ie all of them are running or all of them are idle. Also, if any one appliance malfunctions, it prevents current frm flowing to the other appliances and thus they also dont work. So, home appliances are always connected in parallel.

Which type of Electrical wiring is used in your homes and offices?

Parallel for main circuits and series parallel for lighting circuits.


What are two common ways to wire and electric circuit?

Two common ways to wire an electric circuit are in series, where the components are connected one after another in a single pathway for the current to flow through, and in parallel, where the components are connected in separate branches to the power source, allowing the current to flow through multiple paths simultaneously.


What are some different types of electrical circuits?

Some different types of circuits are:openclosedparallelseriesThere are two types of basic circuits, series and parallel.In series, current stays constant and voltage is divided amongst the resistors.In parallel the voltage stays constant, Every branch of the circuit gets the same voltage from the power supplier, but there is different current in every branch but current doesn't get lost. Current entering a junction(branches) must equal to current out of the junction. Iin =Iout.The third type could be the Series-Parallel Combination, which has some components wired in series and other components in parallel. Solving these circuits requires more complex analysis techniques. See related link.Another AnswerElectrical circuits are generally classified as being: (1) series, (2) parallel, (3) series-parallel, and (4) complex. The term, 'complex' is a category into which any circuit that doesn't fall into the first three categories, is placed.


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.


Does an electric fan work by using a series circuit?

If there is only one fan in the circuit then it is in a series circuit. If there is more that one fan then they will be connected in a parallel configuration.

Is the current in both circuits the same when they are connected in parallel?

Yes, the current in both circuits is the same when they are connected in parallel.


What are two ways electric circuits can be arranged?

Electric circuits with 2 terminals can be arranged in "series" or in "parallel". This applies to all 2-terminal circuits - including fundamental components such as resistors, capacitors, or inductors. The term "series" means that an electrical path in an existing circuit is broken and the circuit is connected to the 2 terminals of the break. The term "parallel" means that the electric circuit is connected between 2 existing terminals or nodes of the existing circuit.

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)


In what ways are series and parallel circuits similar?

Series and parallel circuits are similar in that they both involve the flow of electric current through connected components. Additionally, both types of circuits follow the same laws of physics, such as Ohm's Law, which govern the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

How are series circuits and parallel circuits the same?

They are not. They are connected differently, and the voltages and currents behave in different ways.


How are series parallel circuits different?

A series is an electric circuit with a single path.A parallel circuit is an electric circuit with multiple paths.
