In a modern home you use parallel circuit's. The reason why they are parallel circuit and not series is For example: say your kitchen light goes off, if that light goes off the others in your house won't. They also use parallel circuit in schools. However, when there is a switch in the circuit, that switch is in series with the load, so you could say that electrical wiring is arranged in series-parallel.
Always parallel. Homes should never be wired in series. (That would be like the old Christmas tree lights where, if one bulb burned out, the entire string would not light up.)
a house is a big paralel circuit but it is possable to wire somthing in series in a house like if your refrigerator is on its own circuit it would be a series circuit but its full of more wiring itself. I guess the best answer would be a complex cicuit,
"Cable" most often refers to a wiring method manufactured with more than one conductor. Examples would be the triplex (3 twisted wires) that powers most homes and the NM cable used for branch circuits in homes. But I have heard of single conductors referred to as cables, probably because of their size.
Every outlet in a home or a school is in parallel with every other outlet in the same home or school, and also very possibly with every outlet in several other buildings nearby. Every time you plug something into an outlet, you're connecting that thing in parallel with every other electrical thing that's plugged into any of those others.
Parallel for main circuits and series parallel for lighting circuits.
parallel
Series circuits , the voltage is drawn by instruments progressively from source to end whereas parallel circuits give a constant voltage through all the points connected parallel to the source hence the name.In series circuit,the more the power drawn by an instrument,the lesser the voltage available for the next instrument connected after it serially from the source. Hope this solves the question
Most homes (probably all homes) are wired in a parallel circuit (actually several parallel circuits and a few dedicated circuits) so that in the event of the failure of one device in the circuit, the rest will continue to function.
Circuits in all buildings are connected in parallel so that the loads connected in each 'branch' are all subject to the same (supply) voltage, enabling them to operate at their rated powers. A secondary advantage is that, with a parallel circuit, if one branch fails, then all the other branches will continue to operate normally.
It is in parallel, so one light can be on while others are turned off.

we use parallel circuits because with parallel circuits the electricity goes through the whole houseBy: Harjeet Badhan Parents: Harbhajan Singh and Suamn Jeet
Most practical circuits are parallel circuits. A parallel circuit has two advantages: (1) the voltage appearing across each branch is the same as the supply voltage and, (2) on one branch becomes disconnected, then the other branches continue to work. The reason that (1) is important is because for a load to operate at its rated power, it must be subject to its rated voltage which is (usually) the supply voltage. All homes are connected in parallel, as are the various circuits in (for example) a car.
