Is there any problem? A switch B switch Voltage source (+1) C lamp There is no problem, the lamp C should be off because it is short-circuited by switch A being closed. There is a problem, the lamp C should be on as long as the switch A is closed; either the lamp is burned, or the voltage source is disconnected. There is a problem, the lamp C should be on as long as the switch B is open; most likely the lamp is burned. There is no problem, since the lamp C should be off as long as switch B is open.arrow_forward
