Resources and methods for learning about these subjects (list a few here, in preparation for your research): 1 Question 1 A chandelier has five light bulbs in it, and one of them is not working. The problem could be in the chandelier’s wiring (open wire connection, open connection in socket), or in the bulb itself (burned-out filament). Describe a procedure for determining the location of the problem (chandelier vs. bulb), without using any electrical test instruments. file 01190 Answer 1 Swap the non-working bulb for one of the other four working bulbs, and see if the problem moves with the bulb. Challenge question: can you think of a scenario where this troubleshooting procedure could cause additional failures in a system? Notes 1 This simple troubleshooting technique is applicable to a wide variety of electrical, electronic, and other types of systems: swap the suspect component with an identical component known to be functional, and see observe whether or not the problem changes location. There is, however, a potential hazard to doing this. If the swapped component is indeed faulty, but in such a way that it causes a different part of the system to fail with connected to it, this technique will cause a failure in the system where the
