Why are the electric lamps in a house lighting circuit normally connected in parallel?

Friday, March 6th, 2009
take my soul… asked:


a) The current in every circuit must be the same.
b) The lamps are always switched on and off at the same time.
c) The voltage across each lamp must be the main voltage.
d) When one of the lamps blows, all the others go out.
