Yes.
A typical light bulb socket is an open circuit when the bulb is removed, thus blocking the flow of current and turning off the remaining bulb. The removed bulb would go out too, of course.
It is possible to imagine a bulb socket that reverts to a closed circuit when the bulb is removed. In that case, the remaining bulb would remain lit.
What else can I help you with?
Are fairy lights on Christmas trees parallel or series circuit?
both
Electric lights will not come on unless their electrical circuit is a parallel circuit?
No, electric lights come in both parallel and series circuit.
If a wire on a series circuit is disconnected what will happen to the two lights?
If a wire on a series circuit is disconnected, both lights will go out. In a series circuit, current flows through each component in sequence, so if the circuit is broken by disconnecting a wire, the current cannot flow through either light.
What the advantages of series circuits?
While many of the terminal parts of a circuit may be a series element, in most circuits there will be both series and parallel components. Neither is superior - they both have their appropriate applications.
Strings of Christmas lights were made of miniature lamps connected in series if one lamp is removed what would happen?
all the lights would go out which is why most new lights these days are wired in parallel or prevent that from happening and then you just replace the one bulb... some lights have both a series and parallel circuit in a complete light circuit. for example (A) the complete light circuit has 4 (B) series sections and with each series circuit you have a (C) parallel circuit... so when (A) is lit up and the 3rd section of (B) is lit up and one bulb is out you have a bulb failure in the (C) circuit and if the same scenario is there and the first bulb in the (b) section is out the entire (B) section would be out which is a series circuit failure. Hope this helps
Why does the electric current decrease when an additional bulb is added to the circuit in series?
becase the electricity is taken by both bulbs and it is divided
What is an example of a parallel series circuit in your home?
Two receptacles on a branch circuit, each in parallel, both in series with the circuit breaker. The blower motor, ignition transformer, and oil solenoid on an oil burner, each in parallel, all in series with the acquastat (water temperature control switch).
What is the difference between parallel circuit lights and series circuit lights using the idea of current flow?
Parallel circuit lights are built as so: ______light_______ |_____light_______| |_____battery_____| Series circuit lights are built like this: ___light___light___battery___ |________________________| In a parallel circuit, lights don't get dimmer when you add more, and if one breaks, the others still work. In a series circuit, when you add more, the lights get dimmer, and when one breaks, they all break. It is possible to have a combination of both in one circuit though.
Are the lights and outlets in this room connected to the same circuit?
To determine if the lights and outlets in a room are connected to the same circuit, you can check the circuit breaker panel. If the lights and outlets are on the same circuit, flipping the breaker for that circuit will turn off both the lights and outlets. If they are on separate circuits, turning off the breaker for the lights will only affect the lights, and the outlets will still have power.
A fuse is used to protect a series circuit?
A fuse can protect the conductors in both a series and parallel circuit.
Why is a parallel circuit better than series?
Neither is superior. Both a series and a parallel circuit have their place.
Where would you find a series circuit?
The main advantage of a series circuits comes from the fact that when you add a power source, its voltage just gets added to voltage of the circuit. This increase in voltage allows you to easily increase the power going to any electrical device just by adding more sources of voltage. In addition, since current is constant across a series circuit, if you have a collection of devices that all require the same or closely related current, a series circuit instantly gets you there. Finally, on a more economical note, since you only need to wire one loop in series (as opposed to multiple in parallel) you will end up using less wire and spending less on materials to create your circuit. However, if you plan on powering multiple devices at once with the ability to remove any of them at any time or want them to have the same voltage and not the same current, you will have little choice but to concede and use a parallel circuit structure instead.
