Question

A break in the filament of an electric bulb means:

• A. a break in the path of the current between the terminals of the cell
• B. An incomplete electric circuit
• C. the bulb is fused
• D. All of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A

a break in the path of the current between the terminals of the cell

B

An incomplete electric circuit

C

the bulb is fused

D

All of these

A break in the filament means that the bulb is fused. In this state, if it is connected to a battery, current will not flow as the charge carriers do not get a closed path, i.e. the electric circuit is incomplete.

Since there is no current through the filament the bulb will not glow.
