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.
Where can you find a series circuit?
A lamp A fan and a bunch of other thingsAnswerThe classic example of a series circuit is a string of Christmas-tree lights. They are connected in series if, when one lamp burns out, all the lights go out.
Are the lights in your school connected in series current or parallel current?
Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.
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.
Why should Christmas lights be parellel not series?
Because if one light burns out, all the lights will go out.
What happens when one light bulb burns out in a series circuit?
All of the light bulbs in the series circuit would go out.

Are house circuits series or parallel?
Everything in a house is wired in parallel. If you had lights is series when one burns out they would all go out, much like cheap Christmas lights.
Can you describe a situation where a series circuit could be used to operate an electrical device?
A series circuit could be used to operate a string of Christmas lights. Each light bulb would be connected in a series, so that if one bulb burns out, the entire string would stop working. This setup ensures that all lights in the series receive the same amount of current.
What happens to the potential difference of a bulb that burns out in series circuit?
The whole circuit fails - because the action of the bulb blowing cuts the circuit.
When several light bulbs are connected in a series circuit what will happen if on bulb burns out?
Hmm. well, it's a series circuit, so I would think they would potentially follow after the one that went out, right?? Yeah, for sure!
Why are parallel Christmas lights better than series?
In a series circuit, if any one bulb goes open the rest of the lights will go out. The current flow in a series circuit is common throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit when one bulb goes open the rest remain on due to the configuration of a parallel circuit.
