Home devices are connected in parallel and not in series.
You do not build a series circuit in your home. The only series circuits are the circuits that go through circuit breakers, light switches, and relays. Electrical and electronic devices use internal series circuits but those are the only ones people build. No one builds series circuits for house wiring. Electrical outlets are connected with parallel wiring.
You're home/school outlets and lights are in parallel with each other. The fuses or breakers in your home / school are in series with these lights and outlets. Extentions cords / battery backups are in series with whatever is plugged into them.
An electric light bulb, incandescant type, is designed to operate at a certain voltage. Let's take 12 volt car headlights for example. Two 12 volt lights are connected in parallel in a car to provide the headlights, the same 2 lights could be connected in series if used on a truck with a 24 volt battery, or 20 of the lights could be connected in series if connected to a 240volt home electric circuit. (In the US think of 10 connected in series on your 110 volt system.) The lights would each produce about the same light output, but the number of lights would cause more light in total. In series there is a problem, when one light failsm they all go out. That's why lights in a house are connected in parallel.
Adding additional lamps has no effect on the supply voltage supplied to you home. If the lamps are connected in series, then the sum of voltage-drops appearing across each lamp will equal the supply voltage. If the lamps are connected in parallel, then the voltage across each lamp will equal the supply voltage.
For any appliance or lamp to operate at its rated power, it must be subjected to its rated voltage. Every branch of a parallel circuit is subjected to the same (supply) voltage. This is the main reason; the secondary reason is that any break in a series circuit will de-energise all the appliances connected to it!
All home appliances are connected in parallel.
Dependable voltage; and you don't need to have all devices on or off simultaneously.
They're connected in parallel, this is so that everything connected to the circuits will receive the same voltage. Also, if everything was connected in series, if one of the components died, everything would be dead (think of christmas lights)

No, because devices (light bulb, heater, TV set, and so on...) in our home are connected in parallel.
In my home, all of the utility outlets and all of the AC electrical devices we use arein parallel with all the others, and also with all similar outlets and devices in all ofthe homes of all of our neighbors whose houses are on the same transformer.
Parallel.
The most common of all circuits used in industry and around the home is the parallel circuit. In industry all MCC controls are in parallel with the supply distribution and around the home all lighting circuits are in parallel with the supply distribution panel.
series and parallel
The wiring in a house is typically done in a parallel circuit. In a parallel circuit, each electrical device is connected separately to the power source, allowing them to operate independently. This setup ensures that if one device fails, it does not affect the operation of the other devices connected to the circuit.
You're home/school outlets and lights are in parallel with each other. The fuses or breakers in your home / school are in series with these lights and outlets. Extentions cords / battery backups are in series with whatever is plugged into them.
In the electrical trade there are three types of electrical circuits. They are series, parallel and series - parallel. All three types are used every day in building construction and home construction.
