What would happen if your home were not wired in parallel?

If a home were not wired in parallel, the electrical system would be set up in series, meaning that all devices would share the same current. This would lead to several issues: if one device failed or was turned off, it would interrupt the flow of electricity to all other devices on the same circuit, causing them to stop working. Additionally, devices requiring different voltage levels might not function properly, and the overall performance of the electrical system would be compromised, potentially leading to overheating and safety hazards.
