Technician A says that a voltage drop on the ground side of a bulb won’t affect its brightness because the electricity has already been used up. Technician B says that a voltage drop is one way to determine if there is unwanted resistance in a circuit. Who is correct?

Answer:

Technician B

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given circuit current, the voltage drop is an indication of the resistance in the circuit.

If the voltage drop on the ground side of a bulb is unexpectedly high, it means the circuit resistance is unexpectedly high. Technician B is correct.
