In a house, a circuit often includes multiple electrical outlets which are parallel- connected 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 con- nected to a voltage source with a circuit breaker. What is the advantage of having out- lets parallel-connected, and why is a circuit breaker connected in series with the voltage source? Why is the circuit breaker considered a necessary safety item in the circuit?
