A: Sure even to a one to one level. The problem will become evident when the power will increase linearly as the load evidently is increased by cutting and shortening that is true if the input power level remains the same
on applying same power the one which glows brighter is the one connected in parallel connection.
If one light goes out on a series-parallel connected string, all of the lights in that particular series string will go out. The other parallel strings will not be affected. If you are asking about Christmas tree lights, please note that most modern low voltage bulb designs make the bulb short out, rather than open, when the filament burns out. This keeps the other bulbs in that series string on, although they now have more power and are more likely to also burn out.
One of the lights in the string that isn't working is faulty. Try replacing them one by one. Turn the power off each time you change a light.
Overall brightness (not individual bulbs' brightness) will increase when we connect them in parallel & it will decrease when we connect them in series.
A parallel circuit is used when the current through several components needs to be independent of each other. The simplest example is that of lights in a home. The lights with their switches are wired in parallel. Turning on one light does not affect any others and similarly, turning a light off does not turn off any others. Each light is supplied with the same voltage which does not change even if other lights are turned on or off. A series circuit is one where the current flows through one component and then through a second component and so on. If the current flow through one component is changed, it is also changed in all the others in the series circuit. A string of Christmas lights is a good example. Removing one bulb from the string of lights will stop all the others operating because there is no current flowing through any of them.
Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.
on applying same power the one which glows brighter is the one connected in parallel connection.
A parallel circuit. All the lights are connected in parallel across the power source.
House lights are wired in parallel. If they were in series, when one burned out, all would. Christmas lights are wired in a combination of series and parallel - roughly 50 lights in each series string. that's why if one bulb burns out, a section of the lights goes out.
With series Christmas lights, if one burns out, the whole string stops working. With parallel Christmas lights one light burning out only affects that light. This makes it much easier to replace burned out lights in the case of the parallel lights.
Christmas tree lights, this parallel circuit prevents one bulb failure from turning off the whole string of lights.
If one light goes out on a series-parallel connected string, all of the lights in that particular series string will go out. The other parallel strings will not be affected. If you are asking about Christmas tree lights, please note that most modern low voltage bulb designs make the bulb short out, rather than open, when the filament burns out.

The lights are wired in parallel.
Basically, a series circuit is like a string of Christmas lights. There is a single path for an electrical current to run along. Along that string is a consecutive line of "resistors" (in this case, a light-bulb) through which the electricity has to pass. If one of these resistors breaks down, the electricity can no longer pass through and any resistor beyond the one that broke down no longer has power to turn it on. On a string of Christmas lights, if one little bulb goes out, it blocks the electricity for all of the lights beyond it. All of the lights are connected to the power source by the SAME path. A parallel circuit, on the other hand, is like the lights in your house. If one burns out, all of the others still stay on, right? This is because all of the lights are connected to the same power source, but by DIFFERENT paths. So even if one light burns out, it's separate from the other ones and so it doesn't affect it. This is the difference between series and parallel. In series, they are all connected to the same power source by the same path, with parallel it's the same power source, but by a different path.
Remove a light bulb. If they all go out, it is series, if the all stay on, it is parallel.
