It depends on the circuit design and ratings, and what you expect from the bulbs.
Bulbs connected in series with each other will have the same amount of current
flowing through each one, but possibly differing voltages dropped across them,
depending on their ratings. Also, with bulbs connected in series, if any single
bulb burns out, or is switched off, or is removed from its socket, then all of the
bulbs in the series circuit go dark.
Bulbs connected in parallel will have the same voltage across each one, but
possibly differing currents through them, depending on their ratings.
Always check what type of circuit is in use and what it is designed to do, and
ensure the appropriate rating of lamps are used.

What happens in a parralell circuit when one light bulb goes out?
The other components are still connected to the circuit
If a paper and pencil lead is connected to a light bulb circuit which one will turn on the light bulb?
The Pencil lead
Would taking a light bulb from a parallel circuit affect the energy transfer?
Yes, of course. If the light bulb is connected, it takes energy from the circuit. IF it is taken away, it doesn't.
Light bulb in parallel circuit brightness?
Two bulbs connected in parallel are brighter than two connected in series. The resistance of the circuit is lower, electrons can flow more easily.
What is the function of the metal casing and tip of the bulb?
metal casing and tip of the bulb are connected to the circuit which allows electricity to flow through the wires and light up the bulb
When you remove a bulb from a three bulb circuit and the other two bulbs go off then the bulbs must have been connected in?
help :(
Why the bulb is not lighting when one wire or terminal is not connected?
When one wire or terminal is not connected to a light bulb, it is not possible for electricity to complete the circuit. When a circuit is not completed, the bulb will not light. An off switch, for example, breaks the circuit.
What happens in a parralell circuit when one light bulb goes out?
The other components are still connected to the circuit
Based on what you have seen what must be true for a circuit to light a bulb?
There must be a current through the bulb in order for it to glow.
What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light on bulb?
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
If a paper and pencil lead is connected to a light bulb circuit which one will turn on the light bulb?
The Pencil lead
Is this your experiment with physics?
· to show the effect on a bulb if a resistance is connected in series with it in the circuit.
The rules of connecting voltmeter and ammeters in the circuit?
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
Would taking a light bulb from a parallel circuit affect the energy transfer?
Yes, of course. If the light bulb is connected, it takes energy from the circuit. IF it is taken away, it doesn't.
What meter must NEVER be connected to a circuit when the circuit power is turned on?
An Ohmmeter.
Light bulb in parallel circuit brightness?
Two bulbs connected in parallel are brighter than two connected in series. The resistance of the circuit is lower, electrons can flow more easily.
Why does a bulb in a circuit not work?
A light bulb is not lit when the swtich is not connected to the wire becasue there is no flow of electricity, specifically, flow of electrons. By disconnecting the wire, the bulb is no longer connected to the electricity source.
