प्रश्न
Why is parallel arrangement used in domestic wiring?
उत्तर
Parallel arrangement is used in domestic wiring because of the following reasons -
- Net resistance of the electric circuit decreases in parallel connection as compared to series connection due to which heat loss is reduced.
- Potential difference across each electrical device remains same i.e 220 V due to which all the electrical devices work upto their maximum potential.
- Each electrical device can be operated independently.
- If one electrical device stops working still other electrical devices continue to work properly.
