If six bulbs are connected to a battery in Series circuit will the bulbs shine?

Yes,they will. But the bulbs won't be very bright:
Current will flow through all the filaments. However, with 6 times the impedance the power in each bulb will be tiny, almost invisible.
For example, a 12V 6W bulb has a resistance of 24 ohms. 6 of them will have a total resistance of 144 ohms (nominally, filament resistance changes with temperature). 12V divided by 144 ohms gives 83 mA current. Using P = I2R, each bulb will have (.083)2x24 W, or 1/6 W. In a very dark room you might see a faint orange glow, but not much more.

How are the bulbs wires and battery connected?
The equipment is all connected in series with each other to make a complete electrical circuit.
What type of circuit would be used in a battery operated torch?
Torch equals flashlight. Battery negative connected to case switched to bulbs outside. Positive connected to the lamps bottom. Called a series circuit.
In a circuit does lamp gets dimmer if more lamps with same battery?
this depends on 1. whether the extra bulbs are being connected in parallel circuit or in series with each other, and 2. the power rating of the battery. supposing the battery power rating is greater than all the individual bulbs put together, the bulbs will glow the same maximum intensity if they are connected in parallel, and will become dimmer if connected end to end i.e in series.
Three identical bulbs are connected in series labeled A B and C to a battery which bulb is the brightest?
If three identical bulbs are connected in parallel to a battery, all three bulbs would have equal brightness.Kirchoff's voltage law states that the signed sum of the voltage drops around a series circuit is zero. A consequence of this is that, in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each parallel element is the same.There are effectively 6 series circuits in this example - battery and A - battery and B - battery and C - A and B - A and C - and B and C. These six combinations are also parallel circuits, and they are also in parallel with each other.
What type of circuit is it called when light bulbs one after another are connected?
In series
Are lamps in house connected to series or parallel?
They can be connected to either supply. A bulb in series that fails, will cause all the other bulbs to go out. A bulb in parallel that fails, will have no adverse effect on the other bulbs in that circuit
What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light on bulb?
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
Why should ammeter still be connected in a series despite the fact that the bulbs are already connected in parallel?
Because the ammeter connected in parallel will act as a short circuit.
Circuit in which all parts are connected one after another?
That is a series circuit. An example is old christmas tree bulbs where if one burned out they all went dark.
How must a bulb be connected in a circuit?
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.
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 would you conculde if you saw if one bulb burned and all lights fail?
The bulbs are in connected series. There was a short circuit and the circuit breaker tripped.
