When the switch is closed, the lamp does not turn on:  Identify which of the following hypothetical faults could account for this problem, and which could not account for the problem. In other words, which of these faults are possible, and which are not possible, given the symptoms exhibited by the circuit? Consider each of these hypothetical faults one at a time (no multiple, simultaneous faults):    a) Light bulb filament failed open    

    • A.

      Possible

    • B.

      NOT possible

    Correct Answer
    A. Possible
    Explanation
    The possible explanation for the given correct answer is that if the light bulb filament has failed open, it means that there is a break in the filament, causing an open circuit. This would prevent the flow of electricity and result in the lamp not turning on when the switch is closed. Therefore, it is possible for a failed open filament to account for the problem observed in the circuit.

    • A.

      Possible

    • B.

      NOT Possible

    Correct Answer
    B. NOT Possible
    Explanation
    If the switch failed shorted, it means that the switch is stuck in the closed position, causing a direct connection between the power source and the lamp. In this case, when the switch is closed, the lamp should turn on. However, the question states that the lamp does not turn on when the switch is closed, indicating that the switch failed shorted is not possible as the hypothetical fault.

    *****BEGINNING OF NEW DIAGRAM*****   Troubleshooting 10/26 The following SEVEN (7) questions correspond to the following diagram. The following circuit has a problem. Switch #1 is able to control lamp #1, but lamp #2 never comes on no matter what is done with switch #2:      Identify which of the following hypothetical faults could account for this problem, and which could not account for the problem. In other words, which of these faults are possible, and which are not possible, given the symptoms exhibited by the circuit? Consider each of these hypothetical faults one at a time (no multiple, simultaneous faults):    a) Battery is dead    

    • A.

      Possible

    • B.

      NOT Possible

    Correct Answer
    B. NOT Possible
    Explanation
    The given answer states that the fault of the battery being dead is NOT possible to account for the problem. This is because the circuit is functioning partially, with switch #1 able to control lamp #1. If the battery were dead, neither lamp would be able to turn on. Therefore, the battery being dead is not a possible explanation for the problem.

    • A.

      Possible

    • B.

      NOT Possible

    Correct Answer
    A. Possible
    Explanation
    If switch #2 failed open, it means that the switch is not making a complete circuit when it is turned on. This would prevent current from flowing through lamp #2, causing it to not come on. Therefore, this hypothetical fault could account for the problem described in the circuit.

Consider each of these hypothetical faults one at a time (no multiple, simultaneous faults):    c) Switch #2 failed shorted    

    • A.

      Possible

    • B.

      NOT Possible

    Correct Answer
    B. NOT Possible
    Explanation
    If Switch #2 failed shorted, it means that there is a direct connection between the two terminals of the switch, bypassing the lamp #2. This would result in lamp #2 always being on, regardless of the position of Switch #2. However, the problem stated in the question is that lamp #2 never comes on, indicating that there is no current flowing through it. Therefore, Switch #2 failed shorted is not possible as the cause of the problem.

Consider each of these hypothetical faults one at a time (no multiple, simultaneous faults):    d) Switch #1 failed open    

    • A.

      Possible

    • B.

      NOT Possible

    Correct Answer
    B. NOT Possible
    Explanation
    If Switch #1 failed open, it means that the switch is not making a connection and is permanently in the open position. In this case, it would not be possible for Switch #1 to control lamp #1. Since the question states that Switch #1 is able to control lamp #1, it indicates that Switch #1 is functioning properly. Therefore, Switch #1 failed open is not a possible fault that could account for the problem described.

    • A.

      Possible

    • B.

      NOT Possible

    Correct Answer
    B. NOT Possible
    Explanation
    If Switch #1 failed shorted, it means that the switch is stuck in the closed position, causing a constant flow of current through lamp #1. In this scenario, lamp #1 would be continuously on and lamp #2 would not come on, which aligns with the symptoms exhibited by the circuit. Therefore, this fault is possible.

    • A.

      Possible

    • B.

      NOT Possible

    Correct Answer
    B. NOT Possible
    Explanation
    An open wire between test points 1 and 2 would not affect the functioning of lamp #2. Since switch #1 is able to control lamp #1, it indicates that the circuit is intact and there is no problem with the connection between test points 1 and 2. Therefore, an open wire between test points 1 and 2 is not possible as a fault that could account for the problem of lamp #2 not coming on.

    • B.

      NOT Possible

    Correct Answer
    A. Possible
    Explanation
    An open wire between test points 5 and 6 (between TP5 and TP6) could potentially account for the problem of lamp #2 not coming on. If there is an open wire between these two test points, it would prevent the flow of electricity to lamp #2, resulting in it not turning on. Therefore, this hypothetical fault is possible given the symptoms exhibited by the circuit.
