Explain your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Domestic appliance are connected in parallel because this connection assures that even if one or more appliances get faulty or stops working, the working of others will remain unaffected.

b) The potential difference across each appliance should be same as they are connected in parallel. The potential difference between live and neutral wire in domestic wiring is maintained at 220 V in India. Hence, the potential difference across each appliance should be 220 V.

c)

C. Will the current passing through

each appliance be the same?

d ) Domestic appliance are connected in parallel because this connection assures that even if one or more appliances get faulty or stops working, the working of others will remain unaffected.

e) The working of other appliances will remain unaffected even if the T.V. stops working. The current through T.V. will stop but the other appliances will receive the approximately the same amount of current as before.
