You want to reduce your carbon footprint on the next Yuletide season, and so you plan to re-use the last year Christmas lights to your Christmas tree. You notice that one of the lightbulbs stops working. But you’re relieved to see the remainder of the lightbulbs are still in good condition. Which of the following is the correct hypothesis for the said situation? Group of answer choices The lights are connected in parallel circuit. The lights are connected in a combination of series and parallel circuit. The lights are connected in series circuit. It would be impossible to determine the type of connection for the lights without dismantling the wiring.
