If switch #1 failed open, it means that the switch is not making a connection when it is turned on. This would explain why lamp #1 never comes on, as the open switch prevents current from flowing to the lamp. Therefore, this fault is possible and could account for the problem.

The following TEN (10) questions correspond to the following diagram. The following circuit has a problem. Switch #2 is able to control lamp #2, but lamp #1 never comes on no matter what is done with switch #1:
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):
g) Switch #1 failed shorted
Correct Answer
B. NOT Possible
Explanation
If switch #1 failed shorted, it would mean that there is a direct connection between the two terminals of the switch, causing a short circuit. In this case, lamp #1 would always be on and not affected by the state of switch #2. However, the problem described in the question states that lamp #1 never comes on, regardless of the position of switch #1. Therefore, it is not possible for switch #1 to have failed shorted in this scenario.

h) Open wire between test points 1 and 2 (between TP1 and TP2)
Correct Answer
B. NOT Possible
Explanation
An open wire between test points 1 and 2 would mean there is no continuity in the circuit between those two points. However, since switch #2 is able to control lamp #2, it indicates that there is continuity between switch #2 and lamp #2. Therefore, there cannot be an open wire between test points 1 and 2, making this fault not possible.
