Two sets $A$ and $B$ , of the three bulbs, each, are glowing in two separate rooms. When one of the bulbs in set $A$ is fused, the other two bulbs also cease to glow. But in set $B$ , when one bulb fuses, the other two bulbs continue to glow. Explain why this phenomenon occurs

Solution

The bulbs of set $A$ are connected in series. Therefore when one bulb is fused the current stop flowing. Whereas the bulbs of set $B$ are connected in parallel. When one bulb is fused then current flows through the other bulb.
