Question

The lamps in a household circuit are connected in parallel because:; A. this way they require less current; B. if one lamp fails the others remain lit; C. this way they require less power; D. if one lamp fails the others also fail

Answer 1

Answer:

(B) if one lamp fails the others remain lit

Explanation:

Since the lamps in a household circuit are connected in parallel as in parallel circuit only the voltage is same while current is different.Due to this lamps work independently if one lamps switched the others will not.

This principle act as a safety as if one of the lamp gets overheated the others will not gets overheated.

So,option (B) is correct.
