Topic-Planar Graph.
Introduction:
In graph theory, a planar graph is a graph that can
be embedded in the plane, i.e., it can be drawn on the
plane in such a way that its edges intersect only at
their endpoints.
A finite graph is planar if and only if it does not contain a subgraph that
is a subdivision of the complete graph K5 or the complete bipartite graph
K3,3 (utility graph).
r=e-n+2.
All faces (including the outer one) are then bounded by three edges,
explaining the alternative term plane triangulation.

Planar graph related to real life:
From the power plants to our houses, the potent power lines
that are zigzagging our countryside or city streets carry
numerously high voltage electricity. For reducing such high
voltage electricity to lower voltage, an equipment is used,
called a transformer. A transformer works in a very simple
way, consisting of different units in which electric current
flows through tiny wires. While connecting the units with each
other, crossing between tiny wires may occur. Sometimes,
crossing between wires is beneficial as it helps in utilizing less
space and makes it inexpensive, but, on the other hand, due
to crossing, the transformer heats up and there is a chance of
an explosion that is quite dangerous for human life. To
overcome this problem, a crossing between such wires needs
to be minimized or good quality wires are needed for
installation. The practical approach of Pythagorean fuzzy
planar graphs can be utilized to structure this kind of situation
for reducing the rate of destruction.
Consider an electric transformer in which units are connected as shown in
Figure below. Each unit U1,U2,…,U7 is represented by a vertex and each electric
connection between units through tiny wire is represented by an edge. The membership
grade of the vertex depicted the chances of electric spark, whereas the non-membership
grade interpreted the chances of no electric spark in the unit. The membership grade of
the edge depicted the intensity of electrical hazard between two units, whereas the non-
membership grade interpreted no intensity of electrical hazard.
