The remaining bulb will be brighter than it was when both bulbs were working - due to the increased voltage.

If you unscrewed the second bulb in the parallel circuit when it was on what happens to the first?

Nothing. That's why it's a parallel circuit. If it was a series circuit, then the first bulb would go out.


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.


What would happen if one bulb burns out in a parallel circuit?

Nothing much will happen except the same bulb will not blow..


When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called a circuit.?

That would be a parallel circuit.


When headlights are wired in parallel what happens when a bulb isn't working?

In a parallel circuit, the other bulb still works when one fails.

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.


When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called?

The question is ambiguous, however one possibility is a parallel circuit, which would permit one light bulb to remain lit while the other light bulb was switched off. By contrast, if the light bulbs were connected in a series circuit, switching one light bulb off would cause both lights to go off.


Quite often on a Christmas tree if one light bulb burns out none of the lights work until the defective bulb is replaced The reason for this is that the bulbs are connected?

Its because it is in a parallel circuit and the dead bulb stops the power from continuing on to the other bulbs on the circuit.


What happens when you hook up the bulbs in parallel?

If you have a 3 bulbs in parallel lets say. If one of those burns out it just means that there is now an open circuit where the burned out bulb used to be. The two that remain aren't aware that anything has changed.
