Question
In this educational diagram, we have a circuit with four lightbulbs and a power source denoted as \( \mathcal{E} \).

**Components:**

- **Bulb A**, **Bulb B**, and **Bulb C**: Each are 60W lightbulbs.
- **Bulb D**: A 100W lightbulb.

**Circuit Description:**

The circuit is set up in such a way that:
- Bulbs A and B are connected in parallel.
- Bulbs C and D are connected in series, parallel to A and B.
- The power source \( \mathcal{E} \) provides electrical energy to the circuit.

**Scenario:**

If lightbulb C is broken, you need to determine the order of brightness for the remaining bulbs.

**Options for Brightness Ranking:**

1. A = B, both C and D are off.
2. A > B, both C and D are off.
3. A > B > D, C is off.
4. A > D > B, C is off.

In this setup, the diagram helps illustrate the effects of removing one of the bulbs on the overall circuit, aiding learners in understanding series and parallel connections.
