If one of three lamps blows out when connected in series, what happens to the current in the other two?
The effect on the current of other two lamps due to blow out of one lamp.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A complete circuit needs for the flow of current in the circuit. If the circuit become incomplete then, the current flow stops.
The lamps are connecting in the series circuit. So, these would be connected by end to end connection of the lamps. If one lamp blows out, then the circuit become incomplete. The flow of current stops.
Conclusion:
The flow of current for other two lamps stopped due to blow out of one bulb in the series circuit.
