In a house, a circuit often includes multiple electrical outlets which are parallelconnected to a single voltage source. Each of

these circuits also contains a 15-A circuit breaker. Design a parallel-connected circuit which shows three electrical outlets connected to a voltage source with a circuit breaker. What is the advantage of having outlets parallel-connected, and why is a circuit breaker connected in series with the voltage source

Answer:

In parallel circuits, if one element has a problem, it can be eliminated and the rest of the elements continue to work.

Explanation:

There are two ways to connect electrical circuits, in series and in parallel.

Series circuits have the problem that when one element is damaged, the entire circuit is interrupted and runs out of power.

In parallel circuits, if one element has a problem, it can be eliminated and the rest of the elements continue to work.

In Breaker it is connected in series so that when some maintenance is needed, all the energy can be interrupted simultaneously and if some equipment tries to consume a lot of energy, the circuit prevents this action by interrupting the energy of the entire circuit
