Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
One should not connect a number of electrical appliances to the same power socket because
A
the appliance will not get full voltage
B
this can damage the electrical meter
C
this can damage the appliances due to overloading
D
this can damage the domestic wiring due to overloading
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One should not connect a number of electrical appliances to same power socket because it may cause short circuit and damage the electrical appliances connected to it and it may also catch fire.

Detailed explanation-2: -When all these electrical appliances connected to the single socket are switched on at the same time, the electric fuse of circuit blows off.

Detailed explanation-3: -The appliances are linked in parallel, resulting in a lower overall resistance in the circuit and more electricity flowing through the socket. Too many appliances on a single socket implies too much load is shared across several nodes. The current will rise much higher as a result of this.

Detailed explanation-4: -If they are connected in series, the current will have to pass through all appliances for any appliance to work. Hence, if an appliance stops working, other appliances also stop working.
