Question

The accompanying figure shows some electrical appliances connected in a circuit in a house. Answer the following questions.
A. By which method are the appliances connected?
B. What must be the potential difference across individual appliances?
C. Will the current passing through each appliance be the same? Justify your answer.
D. Why are the domestic appliances connected in this way?
E. If the T.V. stops working, will the other appliances also stop working? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

A. The appliances are connected by series method.
B. Potential Difference across individual appliances will be different from each other.
C. Current passing through each appliances will be the same. Because current flowing in the complete circuit is same.
D. In series connection current flowing through each appliance is same and potential Difference is different as required to an appliances. Hence domestic appliances are connected in this way.
E. Yes. Because as mentioned in the figure if TV stopped working then the current will not flow forward.

Answer 2

Explanation:

the above brilliant answer was wrong the correct answer is 1 parallel connection 2 the same as a supply voltage 3 different in general we have I is equal to VR even if the voltage is the same the resistance R can be different hence the current through each appliances may not be sem 4 even if one of the appliances is out of order other appliances can be used 5 even if the TV stop working other appliances will not stop working as they are connected in parallel across the supply
