How many paths are in a series circuit if there are three lamps?

It doesn't matter how many things there are in the circuit, or what they are.
If it's really a series circuit, as you say, then there's only one single path through it.
There's no point anywhere in the circuit where current has a choice of which way
to go.

When you compare 3 lamps in a series circuit to the same 3 lamps in a parallel circuit connected to the same 12-volt battery which statement is TRUE?
If a lamp burns out in parallel circuit, the other two lamps will continue to glow. If a lamp burns out in the series circuit, the other two lamps will also go out. If 3 lamps are in one series circuit, and one of them goes out, the loop is disconnected.
How does a torch work-circuit?
A torch is simply a circuit containing a battery, a bulb and a switch. The three components are connected in series (one after the other) to form a loop. The switch simply completes the circuit so that power flows from the battery to the bulb.
A complete circuit is made of three things?
If you are talking about the light circuit then : The Battery, The bulb and the wire.
What is the total voltage drop across a set of resistors in series?
Simply add all of the component's resistances together and that will give you circuits total resistance. If you're dealing with a 'series-parallel', or 'parallel' circuit, the equations will change, but in a simple series circuit, the total resistance is just the total of all the component's resistance.
There are three sources of resistance in a parallel circuit two of them are rated at 20 ohms the other at 10 ohms what is the circuit's total resistances?
5 ohms.
What are the three types of circuit's?
the three types of circuits are series, parallel, and series-parallel.AnswerThere are, in fact, four types or categories of circuit, not three! These are series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.The term 'complex' is somewhat misleading, because a 'complex circuit' is not necessarily complicated (although they often are!) but merely the collective name for any circuit that isn't series, parallel, or series-parallel. A simple example of a complex circuit is a bridge circuit, such as Wheatstone's Bridge.
If three lamps are connected in series to a 6 volt battery how many volts are impressed across each lamp?
In a parallel circuit, Voltage is constant through out the circuit. Thus, the voltage across each lamp is 6-volts.
How do you calculate the joint resistance in a series circuit with three resistances?
The resistance of a series circuit is simply the sum of the individual resistors.
When you compare 3 lamps in a series circuit to the same 3 lamps in a parallel circuit connected to the same 12-volt battery which statement is TRUE?
If a lamp burns out in parallel circuit, the other two lamps will continue to glow. If a lamp burns out in the series circuit, the other two lamps will also go out. If 3 lamps are in one series circuit, and one of them goes out, the loop is disconnected.
If one of the three lamps blows out when connected in series what happens to the current in the other two?
In a series circuit there is only one path for current to flow. The current will flow through each good lamp. If any lamp opens (blows), then the circuit is broken and current flow stops. The older strings of Christmas tree lights used to be connected in series and it was hard to fine the blown bulb. If there were two burnt out bulbs almost impossible to find.
How do you troubleshoot three wire incandescent bulb Christmas tree light string?
Two wires are simply the AC power cord running the length of the string to power the next string. The third wire is a series circuit of all the lamps, connected to one side of the power cord at the plug end and the other side of the power cord at the socket end. The bulbs are low voltage lamps designed with a mechanism to short them out when they burn out so the other lamps stay lit and you can identify the failed one and replace it. If you remove a lamp the whole string will go out until it is replaced, because they are a series circuit.
In a series circuit of three bulbs adding another one will?
Do nothing. But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.
How many type of electric circuit?
There are basically two types of circuits: parallel and series. In a series circuit, current flows in one continuous straight path. In a parallel circuit, the current has more than one path to follow.AnswerThere are four categories of circuit, not two. These are 'series', 'parallel', 'series-parallel', and 'complex'. A 'complex circuit' describes any circuit not falling into the first three categories.
List three uses for a series circuit and three uses for a parallel circuit?

When a three light circuit is connected in series with 2 6V batteries what is the voltage across each of the lights?
If a three light circuit is connected in series with two 6V batteries, and the three lights are identical, the voltage across each of the lights is 12V divided by 3, or 4V.
How do you calculate the current flow through a parallel circuit with three lamps each of 48 ohms?
To calculate the current in the parallel circuit we need the concept of ohms law, V=IR we know the resistance, R=48 ohms voltage will be constant as 220-230 volts so, I= V/R = 230/48 = 4.791 A Add currents of three lamps, ie., I = 14.375
What object is made up of series and parallel circuits?
