Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #551 (Set 19)

Four lamps are connected in series 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 D — all go out

A series circuit features a single unbroken path for current. If one lamp burns out, it creates an open circuit, interrupting current flow entirely and causing all other lamps in the series string to go out.
