All of the light bulbs in the series circuit would go out.

What happens if you take a device out of a series circuit?
the light bulb gives off more light
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!
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.
If a light bulb is missing in a series circuit will the bulb light?
If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.
An example series circuit might be what?
A voltage or current source in series with a circuit breaker or fuse in series with a switch in series with a light bulb.
What happens if a Christmas light connected in series burns out?
If they are connected in series if one light burns out, the whole string turns off.
What happens to the current in the other lights if one light burns out in a series circuit?
It depends what is the outcome of burning. If that light has created open circuit, circuit will break and there will not be any current. But if there is short circuit means overall resistance is decreased. Thus current will increase. Besides overall brightness will also increase. Thus, if in a series lesser the number of bulbs more will be brightness.
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 if you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?
The circuit will have the flow of electricity interrupted.

How did Egyptians writing differ from Sumerian writing?
What happens if one light bulb out burns out in set of lights in parallel circuit
How did Egyptians writing differ from Sumerians writing?
What happens if one light bulb out burns out in set of lights in parallel circuit
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.
Were could you find a series circuit its for my homework?
Most lighting circuits would have the lights in series with a switch. Some (inexpensive) holiday decoration light strings are in series, so that if one light burns out, they all go out.
What happens to a series circuit if a longer wire is used?
Resistance is increased so the light will be dimmer.
