Question
Using the circuit given below, state which of the following statement is correct?
(a) When S1 and S2 are closed, lamps A and B are lit.22
(b) With S1 open and S2 closed, A is lit and B is not lit.
(c) With S2 open and S1 closed A and B are lit.
(d) With S1 closed and S2 open, lamp A remains lit even if lamp B gets fused.

Solution
(c) With S2 open and S1 closed, A and B are lit.
This is so because if the switch, S2 is open, the current will flow through lamp A because it is a parallel circuit.
