Small household electrical devices, such as vacuum cleaners, televisions, and floor lamps, each draw a different amount of current, but all require 120 volts to operate. Are the outlets in of a power-strip, then, wired in series or parallel

the selected configuration is PARALLEL

Explanation:

There are two ways to connect electrical circuits.

In series in this type of circuit the equipment is connected to the same line, in this case the current of the circuit circulates through all the inputs is the same, but the voltage in each one is a part of the total voltage, this circuit has the problem that if an appliance is disconnected or damages the power and the entire circuit is interrupted

              V_total = ∑ V_i

In a parallel circuit the equipment is connected in two two cables, for which the current is divided in each branch, the voltage in all the branches is the same, this type of circuit has the advantage that if one equipment is damaged or disconnects the others they can continue working

            V_total = V

Therefore, in consequence of the above, the selected configuration is PARALLEL

thermal energy is the answer
