Why does it not effect any of the light bulbs when you take one light bulb out from the parallel circuit?

EASY.The removed light bulb does not have any connection to the other light bulbs. While it's socket that was holding the lght bulb has power running through it to the other bulbs also.


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 happens to the brightness of the lights when you decrease the number of light bulbs in a circuit?

The brightness of the lights may or may not change depending on the circuit in which they are wired. In a series circuit, all the bulbs (called lamps) will experience the same current flow. The same amount of current will be flowing through each one, and each one will be dropping some amount of voltage. If we remove some of the lamps and reconnect the circuit, the lamps will glow brighter because there is less total resistance in the circuit. The remaining lamps will end up dropping more voltage, and will glow brighter. In a parallel circuit, removing bulbs (or adding them) will not affect the operation of the other lamps in the circuit (providing the voltage source is adequate). We know that each of the lights in a household circuit is wired in parallel, and turning one or more on or off won't affect the operation (the brightness) of any other light that is on.


Why do two incandescent light bulbs glow with different intensities when connected in the same circuit?

When you are wiring two light bulbs in SERIES, you split the voltage to each light bulb in HALF, meaning that it will only glow half the brightness per bulb, but it will only draw the current of one bulb, meaning if the bulbs were connected to a battery, it would last longer to connect them together in series, rather than parallel.


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.

If a light bulb is missing in a series circuit will the bulb light?

If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.


What happens if one bulb in a series circuit burned out?

In a series circuit, all bulbs are necessary to complete the circuit. If one bulb goes out, the circuit is broken, so none of the bulbs would light up.


When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one light bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called a circuit?

That would be a parallel circuit.


What type of circuit is it called when light bulbs one after another are connected?

In series


What two circuits one series and one parallel use light bulbs to provide resistance. Both circuits have the same number of light bulbs?

Series circuit gives higher resistance compared to parallel circuit.


What is the use of parallel circuit?

It is very beneficial to have a parallel circuit... for example: 1. If one light in a parallel circuit goes out, the other light bulbs will remain lit Whereas if a light in a series circuit goes out, all bulbs will go out 2. If not all light bulbs are needed on, you can turn them off with the remaining light bulbs staying on

What would happen if one of a set of light bulbs burn out in a parallel circuit?

It depends on the circuit. If it is a constant-current circuit, any light bulbs connected in parallel with it will become brighter. If it is a constant-voltage circuit like a typical household circuit, nothing will happen. Any connected in series with it will go out.


if you remove a light bulb from a serial circuit, are the rest of the light bulbs going to stay lighted?

Yes, because you are only removing that one lightbulb from the circuit.


When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called?

The question is ambiguous, however one possibility is a parallel circuit, which would permit one light bulb to remain lit while the other light bulb was switched off. By contrast, if the light bulbs were connected in a series circuit, switching one light bulb off would cause both lights to go off.
