Why does an electric bulb not become dim when another bulb of the same power in a parallel circuit is switched on?
The reason that neither lamp is affected by the operation of the other is that each one can "see" the applied voltage whether the other is on or not. Each is "directly connected" to the source, a lamp's operation is unaffected by the other lamp. Trace the flow of current from the source through a lamp and back to the source. The other lamp is not in that circuit, and it will not have an effect on the lamp being inspected. This is the nature of a parallel circuit. Each branch in a purely parallel circuit is directly connected to the source and operates as it does without any regard whatsoever as to what may or may not be connected in parallel with it.
What is the key difference between a parallel circuit and a series circuit?
A series circuit pretty much runs in one direction, with each item which uses a load on that circuit one after another in a series. Should one load go out (a lamp, for example) then the entire series is defunct. A parallel circuit has more than one way to run, has a parallel or tandem circuit, so that if one load (our lamp, again) should fail, the electricity has another path (or more) to get to other loads on the circuit.
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.
What does a lamp in a circuit do?
Well, if current is flowing it usually lights up.
Does current in the lamps occur simultaneously or does charge flow first through one lamp then the other and finally the last in turn?
Currents are either flowing or they are not. However these lamps are hooked up, series or parallel, the minute current starts flowing through a circuit it is moving throughout the entire circuit.
What type of circuit is where removing one lamp leaves the other one on?
Parallel Circuit
In a circuit of two lamps in parallel if there is a voltage of 6 V across one lamp what is the voltage across the other lamp?
6 Volts.

When you turn on a lamp are you opening or closing a circuit?
Your closing the circuit!
What makes contact with the base of a lamp?
The "hot" conductor of the lamp circuit.
If AC is replaced by DC in a fluorescent lamp circuit will the circuit work?
No.
If I have a circuit with four lamps each lamp is individually connected across the circuit so that the same current is not flowing through each lamp What type of circuit is this?
Parallel Parallel
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.
What happens to other lamps in a parallel circuit if one lamp burns out?
If one lamp in a parallel circuit burns out, the other lamps are unaffected because current still flows through them. Total current in the system is reduced by the loss of the burned out lamp, which will raise voltage ever so slightly. That will have the effect of brightening the other lamps, but that effect is inconsequential unless there is significant impedance in the source or in the path to the lamps.
How is LED different from lamp?
similarity between lamp and LED- lamp in simple current is used to show that current is flowing and LED performs the same task but in electronic circuit .difference between lamp and LED-lamp in simple current is used to show that current is flowing and LED performs the same task more efficiently but in electronic circuit . so LED works more efficiently in electronic circuit than lamp which performs task in simple circuit.
What is an electric circuit with components pleased one after the other?
It is a series circuit, where all the lamps (for instance) is on the same wire. If one lamp fails, the rest lamps will also go out.
What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?
There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.
