The series arrangement is not used for domestic circuits because of the following reasons:
\(\bullet\) When appliances are connected in series, the damage of one of the appliances can disconnect the whole circuit. It will be practically difficult to detect the defect and overloading will be an inevitable factor.
\(\bullet\) Moreover, as the voltage is split according to the value of resistors in a series connection, the input voltage to a household will have to be too high. This high voltage supplied to any home can cause heavy damage. Hence, connecting appliances with high resistances in series is practically a dangerous application.
\(\bullet\) Effective resistance increases, which may cause a fire.
\(\bullet\) In series circuits, all electrical switches will have a common switch due to which they cannot be turned on/off separately.
