Give an example of appliancees at home that is connected using a parallel connection.draw the circuit in parallel connection answer
Answers
Answer:
They are connected in parallel. The reason for the parallel connection is that it results in each appliance operating at the same voltage (i.e., approximately 120V for line-neutral connected appliances, and 240V for appliances that are connected line-line) along the entire circuit. Each appliance/load draws from the source (the circuit supplied by the circuit breaker in the electrical panel) the current it needs to operate, based on its impedance, according to Ohm’s law: I = V/Z, where V is the circuit voltage and Z is the associated load impedance, and I is the current that the particular load will draw from the circuit, at the voltage (120 or 240V) supplied by the circuit. When the appliances/loads are connected in parallel, you can independently connect or disconnect any appliance/load from the circuit (and/or turn its associated power switch on and off), and the other appliances/loads on the same circuit will continue to operate normally, since they are all being supplied with the same (correct) voltage. The only time you get into trouble is if/when you connect too many appliances/loads to a single circuit, so that those loads collectively draw more current than what the circuit (and its associated circuit breaker) can safely supply. When this happens, the circuit breaker supplying and protecting the circuit trips, opening up the circuit. This causes all of the appliances/loads on that circuit to turn off, until you identify and unplug/disconnect the offending loads, reset the (tripped) circuit breaker that supplies that circuit, make a mental note to not connect that many appliances/loads to that particular circuit again, and you’re good to go.
