Write the advantages of parallel circuits in domestic wiring.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

( 1 ) In a parallel circuit, the total current is divided through different electrical gadgets and total resistance is also decreased. So this is helpful particularly when each gadget has different resistance and reqUires different current to operate properly (due to their different power ratings).
( 2 ) In a parallel circuit, each electrical appliance gets the same voltage (p.d.) equal to 220 V as that of the power supply line. Due to this, all the appliances work properly.
( 3 ) In a parallel circuit, if one electrical appliance stops working due to some defect, other appliances are not affected. They continue to work without any problem.
( 4 )In a parallel circuit, each appliance has its own switch due to which it can be turned .ON. or turned .OFF. independently, without affecting other appliances.
