The bulb is the load of the circuit, without it you have a short circuit.

Do nothing. But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.


Can a circuit have two bulbs and a buzzer?

Of course. The circuit in my house has two door buzzers and almost 30 bulbs.


How is the current affected by the number of bulbs?

As the number of bulbs in a series circuit increases, the current decreases. As the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increases, the current increases.


What happens to the voltages across the light bulbs in a parallel circuit change as more light bulbs are added to the circuit?

Which circuit has brighter bulb side by side?

Bulbs in a parallel circuit draw the same amount of current, so each will display the same brightness. Bulbs in a series circuit share the current so all bulbs will appear dimmer.


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.
