    This document compares two circuit designs for controlling two light bulbs. The first design is simpler but if one bulb burns out, the other cannot be used. The second design is more complex but each bulb can be controlled separately and a burned-out bulb does not affect the other. Both switches must be closed for the bulbs to turn on in the second design. The document also notes that connecting the switches together and including a diagram of current direction can demonstrate how the second design works.

    Chapter 2 Exercise Short Answers

    1. First design:
    Advantage: Simpler design and needing fewer switches.
    Disadvantage: If one of the bulb stops working, the second one will not be able to run as
    current will not be able to flow through. Furthermore the two bulbs cannot be controlled
    separately.
    Second design:
    Advantage: When one of the bulb stop working, the other will not be affected, and each
    switches control each bulbs separately.
    Disadvantage: More complex design, requiring more switches to build.
    2. As long either on or both the switches are closed, the light bulb will be turned on.
    3. Have both the switches connected together in the following fashion:

    4. The direction of current are indicated as follows:

    5. This can be achieved by the flowing circuit design:
