Apart from the obvious point that any remaining lamps will go out and no current flows, you will also observe that the full supply voltage will appear across the empty lamp holder.

A series circuit contains four light bulbs. The switch is opened and one of the bulbs is removed but not replaced. Then the switch is closed again. What would you expect to see?

In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single path, so if one bulb is removed, the circuit is broken. When the switch is closed after removing the bulb, the circuit remains open, and none of the light bulbs will light up. Thus, all the bulbs will remain off until the removed bulb is replaced or the circuit is otherwise completed.


If a light bulb is missing or broken in a series circuitwill the other bulb light?

In a series circuit, if a light bulb is missing or broken, the circuit becomes incomplete, and the electrical current cannot flow. As a result, the other bulbs in the series will not light up. All components in a series circuit must be functioning for the entire circuit to operate.


If a light bulb is missing in a series circuit will the bulb light?

If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.


How is a Series circuit used everyday?

A light switch is in series with the light bulb it controls.


What happens when a light bulb is broken in a series circuit?

In a series circuit, when a light bulb is broken, it creates an open circuit which stops the flow of current throughout the circuit. As a result, all the other light bulbs in the circuit will also stop working because they are all connected in a series.


An example series circuit might be what?

A voltage or current source in series with a circuit breaker or fuse in series with a switch in series with a light bulb.


What is prediction when one bulb removed in series connection?

It will all just turn off. Because with a series circuit the power travels through each light bulb in a series (one after another) so if it is interrupted by there being a burned out or removed bulb, the circuit will not be complete and thus not work at all. If you want to see for yourself, most Christmas lights are series circuits, go ahead and take one out.


What is it called when one light goes out and they all go out?

It is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, if one light bulb goes out, it breaks the circuit and causes all the lights to go out.


How does a house use a series circuit?

The most common form of a series circuit in a house is a circuit breaker (optionally in series with an on-off switch) in series with a load, usually a light bulb.


Why it is often not practical to connect the electric components (example of lights) in series?

In a series circuit, if one of the light's filiments opens the bulb will go out, but along with that light every other device in the same circuit will stop operating.Think of an electric light circuit, in your home, that is controlled by a switch. When the switch is turned off the light goes out. This is an example of a series circuit where ithe switch is in series with the lamp.


What happens if you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?

If you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit, it will cause an open circuit, which will break the flow of current in the circuit. As a result, all other bulbs in the series circuit will also turn off because there is no longer a complete path for the electricity to flow.


Is a series circuit used to light a flashlight?

Yes, a flashlight typically uses a series circuit to light up. In a series circuit, the components are connected end to end, creating a single pathway for the current to flow. This allows the batteries to power the light bulb in the flashlight.
