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 to current in a series circuit?
the current in series will be same..
If you remove one bulb from a string of lights all the remaining lights will go out. are the lights in a series circuit or parallel circuit Explain?
Removing any bulb breaks the continuity of a series circuit, stopping the flow of electrical current. Removing a bulb in a parallel circuit does not interrupt the current flow, so the remaining lights continue to conduct electrical current.
What happens to the current in the series circuit?
current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit
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 happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, if the current is broken the flow of all electricity stops.
Are street lights on a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
Parallel. One light burning out does not stop all current flow to the other lights.
When you add a second battery to a series circuit what happens?
Adding a seound battery to a series circuit will increase the voltage, and require less current to keep the lights (if there are any on) as bright. Say you have a 6v battery, then you add another 6v battery. the voltage of the circuit would be 12v
What happens to the current in a circuit when one bulb is replaced by two bulbs in series?
current in series always stays the same
Why does removing one bulb from a string of lights in a series circuit cause all the lights to go out?
In a series circuit there is only one path through every component in the circuit. Breaking that path by removing a bulb will stop the current flow...all lights go out.
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
What happens to the amount of current in a series circuit as the number of batteries increases?
it increases
