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 if a light blows in a parallel circuit?

The rest of the lights in the system will remain illuminated. Except in that branch of the circuit. The parallel branch(s) get more current if the voltage potential remains the same.


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

Nothing.


A light bulb in a simple circuit blows and goes out Is current now flowing in the circuit?

No. Circuit is open but still HOT.


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...
