Four lamps are connected in parallel in a single circuit. If one of the lamp burns out, what will happen to the other lamps?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — burn with their original intensities
Parallel distribution ensures each load maintains a direct connection across the full source voltage. When one lamp fails, the remaining lamps retain full voltage and burn with their original intensities, which is standard design for shipboard lighting systems under 46 CFR.
