उत्तर
- The appliances are connected in parallel.
- The potential difference between all appliances is the same with a parallel connection.
- No, because each appliance has a different load (resistance), the current passing through them will differ.
- Domestic appliances are connected in parallel because the potential difference remains constant.
- No, the other devices will continue working since the current passing through them follows separate routes.
