If light bulb A was removed, would light bulb B still work? Light bulb C?

Answer:

If light bulb A was removed, light bulb B would still work, but light bulb C would not work.

When light bulb A is removed from the circuit, the functioning of light bulbs B and C depends on the type of circuit they are connected in (parallel or series).

If the bulbs are connected in a parallel circuit, then light bulb B would still work because each bulb is individually connected to the power source. Removing one bulb, in this case light bulb A, does not affect the others. However, light bulb C would not work since it is connected in series with light bulb A, and without light bulb A, the circuit is incomplete.

On the other hand, if the bulbs are connected in a series circuit, removing light bulb A would break the circuit. In this scenario, neither light bulb B nor light bulb C would work because the circuit is a closed loop, and the absence of any bulb disrupts the flow of electricity.
