A series circuit will work if there is a closed path through which the current can pass, and a voltage source. Otherwise it won't.

If one lamp fails, will a series circuit still work?
No. Series circuit has 1 path to flow.
Where would you put an ammeter in a circuit?
in a series circuit or it will not work. Put it after the bulb
What will adding resistance to series circuit cause?
A decrease in current.
How does a broken wire affect a series circuit?
because the circuit is not a full circuit so it wont work!
Does an electric fan work by using a series circuit?
If there is only one fan in the circuit then it is in a series circuit. If there is more that one fan then they will be connected in a parallel configuration.
What happens when one light bulb burns out in a series circuit?
All of the light bulbs in the series circuit would go out.
What happens when a light bulb is broken in a series circuit?
In that case, the entire circuit won't work.
Which neural circuit enables a single presynaptic stimulation to cause a postsynaptic cell to send a series of impulses?
Diverging Circuit
Can a series circuit work if the bulbs are differently lighted up?
The meaning of "differently lighted up" is very unclear. As long as all the bulbs in a series circuit are connected to the circuit, and all of the bulbs have good filaments with no holes in them, current will flow in the circuit. Depending on the ratings of each bulb, the current may not be enough to cause all of them to glow visibly, but there will certainly be a current. That may or may not suit your definition of "work".
Can series circuits work when a switch is open?
No. Since the switch is in series with the circuit, opening it blocks the current flow through the circuit, turning it off.
What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
