Different electrical appliances in a domestic circuit are connected in parallel because of the following advantages:
(i) If one electrical appliance stops working due to some defect, then all other appliances keep working properly.
(ii) Each electrical appliance has its own switch due to which it can be turned on or turned off independently, without affecting other appliances.
(iii) Each electrical appliance gets the same voltage as that of the power supply line.
