Question

Technician A says that in a series circuit, if one light goes out, the rest of the lights stay on. Technician B says that in a parallel circuit, if one light goes out, the rest of the lights stay on. Which technician is correct?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Technician A is incorrect as in series circuit the current is the same for all the resistors and if one bulb fails in the path then the circuit is incomplete and therefore no flow of current.

Technician B is correct as in parallel circuit there are multiple paths for current through which it can pass and malfunctioning of one resistor does not affect the other.
