Question

19. Ten bulbs are connected in a series circuit to a power supply line. Ten identical bulbs are
connected in parallel circuit to an identical power supply line.
a) Which circuit would have the highest voltage?
b) List the advantages of this circuit in domestic wiring?​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The parallel circuit will have the highest voltage because in a series circuit the voltage gets divided between the appliances but in in parallel circuit the voltage remains same across the circuit.

(b) The advantages of circuit in domestic wiring are:

i. In domestic wiring the the appliances can be turn on and off separately.

ii. In domestic circuit the voltage is same in all the appliances and therefore the the appliances runs properly.

iii. The resistance in a domestic circuit is low as compared to series circuit and si current easily flows through it.

iv. In a domestic circuit if one device stops working then the other devices will work without any problem.
