Remove a light bulb. If they all go out, it is series, if the all stay on, it is parallel.

How could you determine whether a string of lights is in series or parallel?
on applying same power the one which glows brighter is the one connected in parallel connection.
How could you determine whether a string of lights is in series or parallel BEFORE you purchase?
if the lamps are standard edison or medium they may be parallel lamps smaller than your finger are series
What can you infer about whether or not your house lights are connected in series or parallel?
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.
You are building a string of lights using several bulbs how is the brightness of the lights related to whether you connect the bulbs in series or in parallel?
Overall brightness (not individual bulbs' brightness) will increase when we connect them in parallel & it will decrease when we connect them in series.
Why are fairy decorative lights always connected in parallel?
If you mean Christmas lights; that was before. Nowadays Christmas lights are connected in parallel.
Would ac or dc be better in lighting circuits in parallel?
Depends on the application. Lights in your house are in parallel with AC and lights in your car are in parallel with DC.
Are Christmas tree lights parallel or series?
They are parallel, or at least you HOPE they are parallel.
Do you wire 12 volt down lights in series or parallel?
Parallel.
Electric lights will not come on unless their electrical circuit is a parallel circuit?
No, electric lights come in both parallel and series circuit.
What is the difference between series and parallel Christmas lights?
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.
Are street lights on a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
Parallel. One light burning out does not stop all current flow to the other lights.
If one of the bulbs in a string of lights is missing but the lights still work what type of circuit connects the lights?
A parallel circuit. All the lights are connected in parallel across the power source.
