PHYSICS FORM 5 ELECTRICITY AT HOME. These are electrical devices that opens the circuit in the event that the current exceeds a certain maximum value. 1. Domestic wiring is done in parallel. The reason being in the event that one resistor (load eg. Appliance, lightbulb) is non-functional, then the entire circuit will not become open. 2. With the parallel
