प्रश्न
Which is the better way to connect lights and other electrical appliances in domestic wiring: series circuits or parallel circuits? why?
उत्तर
A parallel arrangement will be a better way to connect lights and other electrical appliances in domestic wiring because a parallel arrangement has a low resistance. Also in case of any short circuiting in one appliance, the other electrical appliances remain unaffected.
