Why is parallel arrangement used in domestic wiring ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Circuit Arrangement**: - In a parallel arrangement, all electrical appliances are connected across the same two points of the circuit. This means that each appliance has its own direct path to the power source. 2. **Equal Voltage Across Appliances**: - When appliances are connected in parallel, each appliance receives the same voltage from the power supply. This is crucial because different appliances may require different voltages to operate efficiently. ...
