What happens in a parralell circuit when one light bulb goes out?

The other components are still connected to the circuit


When a bulb is switched on and if it burns for long hours it becomes extremely hot why?

I assume it's because of it's burning for one, and the bulb itself is holding the heat it, which means the bulb will be getting gradually hotter and hotter because the heat has nowhere else to go.


What happens when removing a bulb in a parallel circuit?

The other light bulb still continues to shine if one light bulb is taken out of a parallel circuit. In a series circuit if one light bulb is removed the other light bulb goes black. This happens because the circuit is incomplete.


Describe how a meter would be connected in a circuit too measure the voltage at a light bulb?

When connecting a volt meter to a light bulb to measure the voltage of the light bulb, run a third wire from where the wire enters the bulb to one terminal of the voltmeter and a fourth wire from the other side of the bulb to the other terminal of the voltmeter.


What happens when you unscrew a light bulb in a circuit with two bulbs?

There are a few possible different results. One thing that happens in EVERY possible situation is that the bulb you unscrew is dark after you unscrew it. -- If the two bulbs are configured in either a series or a parallel arrangement and the power is off, then both bulbs are dark before you unscrew one, and nothing changes after. -- If the power is on and the two bulbs are configured in parallel, then the one you don't unscrew continues to glow after the other one is gone. -- If the power is on and the two bulbs are configured in series, then BOTH bulbs go out when you unscrew only one of them.

What happens if one bulb burns out on a parallel circuit?

The remaining bulb will be brighter than it was when both bulbs were working - due to the increased voltage.

When headlights are wired in parallel what happens when a bulb isn't working?

In a parallel circuit, the other bulb still works when one fails.


What would happen to the other light bulb in the circuit if one light bulb burns out?

This depends on how the circuit is wired.If there is only a single pair of wires on the circuit, then the blowing of either bulb will break the circuit, and both bulbs will go out. OTOH, if a separate pair of wires is run to each bulb from/to the power source and ground, then one bulb can blow, and the other one will stay lit because it still has power. In that circumstance, however, there are really multiple circuits; one for each bulb.AnswerIf the lamps are connected in series then, if one lamp burns out, the other lamp will stop working. If the lamps are connected in parallel, then a burnt-out lamp will not affect the operation of the other lamp.


If you remove one of two bulbs connected to a circuit in a series will the other bulb still shine?

if you have 2 bulbs and one burns out, the other wont shine, if you remove 1 bulb, you are breaking the circuit, and the current cant flow to the second bulb, so no it wouldn't shine.


What would happen if one bulb burns out in a parallel circuit?

Nothing much will happen except the same bulb will not blow..

Quite often on a Christmas tree if one light bulb burns out none of the lights work until the defective bulb is replaced The reason for this is that the bulbs are connected?

Its because it is in a parallel circuit and the dead bulb stops the power from continuing on to the other bulbs on the circuit.


What happens to the bulbs in parallel circuit if one of the bulbs buns out?

The other bulb remain to glow with same intensity.


On a 1997 Ford Ranger if one turn signal bulb burns out will this cause the signal lights not to work along with th Hazard warning lights?

No. Only the one bulb will stop functioning. All hazards and other bulbs will continue to function. However, if one bulb is burned out it will cause the indicator on that side to blink faster, indicating that there is a problem.
