Problem

Which statement best explains why electrical appliances in a household are connected in parallel rather than in series? a)

\text{The total current of the circuit remains constant when more appliances are added.}

\text{Each appliance receives the full mains voltage so it can work at its rated power.}

\text{The total resistance of the circuit increases, reducing the chances of overloading.}

\text{The same current flows through every appliance, so none of them gets damaged.}
