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

If you unscrewed any bulb in the circuit it would turn all of the bulbs off.


What happens in a series circuit if a light blows?

The circuit current is interrupted and all the lights will go out.


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

In that case, the entire circuit won't work.


What happens if you take a device out of a series circuit?

the light bulb gives off more light


What happens when you unscrew a light bulb in a circuit with two bulbs?

There are a few possible different results. One thing that happens in EVERY possible situation is that the bulb you unscrew is dark after you unscrew it. -- If the two bulbs are configured in either a series or a parallel arrangement and the power is off, then both bulbs are dark before you unscrew one, and nothing changes after. -- If the power is on and the two bulbs are configured in parallel, then the one you don't unscrew continues to glow after the other one is gone. -- If the power is on and the two bulbs are configured in series, then BOTH bulbs go out when you unscrew only one of them.


What happens if one bulb in a series circuit burned out?

In a series circuit, all bulbs are necessary to complete the circuit. If one bulb goes out, the circuit is broken, so none of the bulbs would light up.


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 to a series circuit if a longer wire is used?

Resistance is increased so the light will be dimmer.


What happens to the voltage across the voltage source as more light bulbs are added in a series circuit?

Nothing.


What happens to a parallel circuit if one light fails?

A parellel circuit does not fail if one light dies. In a series circuit, it's broken if one light fails (like the old style Christmas lights). See link for example...


What happens to lights in parallel if one goes out?

In a series circuit each light completes its part of the circuit and connects to the next light. So, if one light fails, the circuit is broken and the flow of current to all lights must stop.


What do amps do in a series circuit?

The amps (ampiers) decrease when in a series circuit ( with a light bulb)
