What are the advantages of connecting electrical devices in parallel with the battery instead of connecting them in series?
Advantages of parallel connection are: (a) In parallel circuit, if one electric appliance stop working due to some defect, then all other appliances keep working normally. (b) In parallel circuit, each electrical appliance has its own switch due to which they can be turned on or off without affecting other appliances. (c) Each electrical appliance get the same voltage (220 V) as that of the power supply line. (d) In parallel connection of electrical appliances, the overall resistance of the circuit is reduced due to which the current from the power supply is high.
