Question

If you have a string of lights and one light that goes out but the others stay lit, which type of circuit do you have?

Series.

Short.

Broken.

Parallel.

Answer 1

Parallel

Explanation:

It is a Parallel connection. Your house wiring is parallel. If one light bulb goes out in your house, the others remain on. In a series connection, if one goes, they all do. There is no such thing as a broken connection. Some series circuits are built so that when one light goes out, its base shorts, but that is not the expected answer.
