In a series circuit containing three or more components, the voltage across the defective component changes in a direction that is opposite to the direction of the change in voltage across good components.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a series circuit, the voltage across each component is inversely proportional to the resistance of that component. If one component becomes defective and its resistance increases, the voltage across that component will decrease. This decrease in voltage will cause the voltage across the other components in the circuit to increase.
