MCQ
Which arrangement is used for domestic circuits?
- ASeries
- BParallel
- CSeries and parallel both
- DNone
✓
Answer
- Parallel
Explanation:
For Domestic circuits parallel arrangement is always used because:
In parallel circuits, if one electrical appliance stop working due to some effect then all other appliances keep working normally.
In parallel circuit, each electrical appliance has own switch due to which it can be turn off or on independently, without effecting other appliances.
In parallel circuits, each electrical appliance gets same voltage as that of the power supply line.
In the parallel connection of electrical appliances, the overall resistance of the house hold circuit is reduced due to which the current from the power supply is high.

A student is using a convex lens of focal length 18 cm to study the image formation by it for the various positions of the object. He observes that when he places the object at 27 cm, the location of the image is at 54 cm on the other side of the lens. Identify from the following diagram the three rays that are obeying the laws of refraction and may be used to draw the corresponding ray diagram.
