  1. All resistors fail
  2. Current stops flowing
  3. The circuit remains functional
  4. Voltage drops to zero

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a parallel circuit, if one resistor fails, what happens to the rest of the circuit? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what a parallel circuit is. In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for electricity to flow.
  • Step 2: Identify the role of resistors in the circuit. Each resistor provides a path for current to flow.
  • Step 3: Consider what happens when one resistor fails (like a light bulb burning out). This means that one path is blocked.
  • Step 4: Realize that the other resistors (paths) are still working. The electricity can still flow through these other paths.
  • Step 5: Conclude that even if one resistor fails, the rest of the circuit continues to function normally.
