The electrical appliances in a residential household are connected in:

  1. A
    series
  2. B
    parallel
  3. C
    either series or parallel
  4. D
    both series and parallel

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Domestic electrical appliances are universally connected in parallel circuits due to several practical reasons:
1. Constant Voltage: Each appliance receives the full, standard main supply voltage across its terminals.
2. Independent Operation: Every appliance can be turned on or off independently using its individual switch without breaking the flow of current to other devices.
3. Safety and Reliability: If one electrical appliance burns out or develops a fault, the remaining household appliances continue working unaffected.
