  1. Question 1

    Q1. In a series circuit, if one component fails or is removed, the effect on the rest of the circuit is:

    • A) Other components work faster
    • B) Other components work at double power
    • C) Current increases in remaining components
    • D) The entire circuit stops working

    Answer: The entire circuit stops working

    Explanation: In a series circuit, all components share a single continuous path for current; if any component fails or is removed, the circuit is broken and current cannot flow through any part of it. This is a key disadvantage of series circuits compared to parallel circuits.
