For domestic purposes, different electrical devices are connected in parallel instead of connecting them in series.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Each device gets the full and same voltage as. that of the electric supply.
Also each device gets proper current depending on its resistance.
If one of the devices is switched OFF/ON, other electrical devices remain unaffected.
