List two advantages of connecting electric devices in parallel with the source in domestic circuit
Answers
Connecting devices in parallel connection with the source holds several advantages, here are the few.
1. If one component is damaged or fused, all the remaining devices will work fine without any interruption, unlike in series if one component is fused all the device will stop working.
2. In parallel connection, it is very easy to find the faulty device, as only faulty device stop working.
3. In parallel connection, the voltage across all the devices remain same, which is a big advantage, as fluctuation in the voltage can cause malfunctioning of most of the devices.
Following are the advantages of connecting electrical devices in parallel with a battery.
(i) The current is divided throughout all the electrical devices. The total resistance in the circuit is decreased and devices work properly.
(ii) If one of the devices in parallel combination fuses or fails, then the other devices keep working without being affected.
