Crystal's class is studying parallel circuits. The teacher asks what will happen if one of the light bulbs break in a parallel circuit with three total light bulbs, as shown in the diagram.
Crystal says that both of the other light bulbs would go out if one bulb breaks. Is she correct? Why or why not?
a
No, Crystal is incorrect. The other two light bulbs would remain lit because the current flowing through them would increase.
b
Yes, Crystal is correct. The other two light bulbs would go out because the circuit would be broken.
c
No, Crystal is incorrect. The other two light bulbs would remain lit because their circuits would not be affected.
d
Yes, Crystal is correct. The other two light bulbs would go out because the current flowing through them would decrease.
c
No, Crystal is incorrect. The other two light bulbs would remain lit because their circuits would not be affected.
