Let’s assume that in room X there are 6 electrical outlets, 1 light fixture with a switch, and 1 switch for an electric roller shutter. Does a single cable run from the distribution panel into room X and then get distributed throughout the room via flush-mounted boxes? Or do the cables run individually from each load back to the distribution board? So, in this example, would there be 2 cables for the two switches and 1 cable for the six outlets wired in series? Is this approach repeated from room to room, or are separate cables grouped together at some point?

e. By flush-mounted box, I mean a junction box.

If you daisy-chain the outlets from two rooms and connect them to a single circuit breaker, and I want to turn off the breaker in room 1 to work on an outlet there, does that automatically cut off power to room 2 as well because everything is on the same breaker?
