Why don’t we use series arrangement of electrical appliances like bulb, television, fan and others in domestic circuits ?
- We have seen that in a series circuit, the current is constant throughout the electric circuit.
- But it is obviously impracticable to connect an electric bulb and an electric heater in series because they need currents of widely different values to operate properly.
- Another major disadvantage of a series circuit is that when one component fails, the circuit is broken and none of the other components works.
