Question

1. what do you think are the advantages of having a parallel connection at home?

2. what are the disadvantages of parallel connection at home?​

Answer 1

Parallel Connection:-

1) Advantage:-

There is no division of voltage among the appliances when connected in parallel. ...

The total effective resistance of the circuit can be reduced by connecting electrical appliances in parallel.

Answer 2

A Parallel Circuit is a closed circuit that is split into two or more paths before being reassembled to complete it.

Explanation:

• The Advantages of Parallel Connection at Homes are as follows:

1. When appliances are connected in parallel, there is no voltage division. The supplied voltage is equal to the potential difference across each appliance.
2. By connecting electrical appliances in parallel, the circuit's total effective resistance can be reduced.
3. Even if one component fails, the others will continue to work because each has its own circuit.
4. The current flowing through each component combines to form the source's current flow.

• The Disadvantages of Parallel Connection at Homes are as follows:

1. More wiring is required for parallel circuits.
2. In a parallel circuit, the voltage cannot be increased without lowering the circuit's resistance.
