Question

An electrician is creating a wiring plan for a small house. He needs to create a plan that will allow the homeowners to turn off

lights in one room without turning off the lights in another. What should he do to assure that each room's lights function
independently of one another?
He should wire each room in series with the next.
He should wire each room in parallel with the next.
He should make sure each room's lights provide the same resistance.
He should wire the room with the most lights directly to the circuit breaker
box

Answer 1

Option B

Wire each room in parallel with the next.

Step-by-step explanation:

By having parallel circuit, it creates more than one path for energy source. That means that even if one route has been closed by one neighbour, the energy source can get another path. One advantage of parallel connection is that even if one load goes out, the rest of the bulbs within the circuit are not affected. For parallel circuit, voltage remains constant every time a new load is added or removed since each load has its own path to the energy source and will receive full voltage. Therefore, the electrician should wire each room in parallel with the next.
