why the electrical appliances are connected in parallel ?

2 Answers

Answer :

To providing equal voltage rating to all equipment.

Answer :

If the appliances connected in series if one of the appliances fails to work other appliances also doesn't work because the current doesn't flow in the appliances.so ,we connect appliances in parallel that if any one of the appliances fails to work it doesn't effect other appliances .
