प्रश्न
What are the advantages of connecting electrical devices in parallel with the battery instead of connecting them in series?

उत्तर
There is no division of voltage among the appliances when connected in parallel. The potential difference across each appliance is equal to the supplied voltage. The total effective resistance of the circuit can be reduced by connecting electrical appliances in parallel.
