When lights are wired such that if one bulb fails the entire string of lights goes out they are said to be wired in?
series
How do you wire a 240 volt street light circuit?
A 240 volt street light circuit is wired in parallel connections. In the base of the street fixture an inline fuse is connected into the circuit that goes up to the fixture to protect the lamp head.
What kind of circuit is best for a string of holiday lights?
A parallel circuit is best because if one light goes out the others remain lit.
Is a light bulb a series or parallel circuit?
Lights at home are connected in parallel. (Switches are connected in series with the lights in order to turn them on and off.) This way, each light receives the same voltage. Placing the lights in series would divide the voltage between the lights, reducing the power of each, and it would have the effect that one light burning out would cause all the others on the same circuit to stop working.
What happens when one light bulb goes out in a series?
The failed bulb breaks the circuit so no current can flow - so the other bulb goes out (but is OK).
If you have a string of lights and one light goes out but the others stay lit which type of circuit do you have?
The lights are wired in parallel.

series
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.

Why are stringed lights wired in a parallel circuit instead of a simple circuit?
Tree lights have parallel circuits because the rest of the lights will remain on if one goes out. Imagine trying to find the one bad bulb on a string of lights if one were to go out. This way, only one light goes out, so it can easily be found and replaced. Hope this helps!
Which occurrence would lead you to conclude that lights are connected in a combined circuit?
When one bulb burned out, a small section of light goes out.
How must a circuit be created so that the rest of the bulbs stay lit if one goes out?
the circuit must be wired in parallel.
What is the name of the circuit where if one electric lamp goes out they will all go out?
The lamps are wired in series.
Why are parallel Christmas lights better than series?
In a series circuit, if any one bulb goes open the rest of the lights will go out. The current flow in a series circuit is common throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit when one bulb goes open the rest remain on due to the configuration of a parallel circuit.
Why it is often not practical to connect the electric components (example of lights) in series?
In a series circuit, if one of the light's filiments opens the bulb will go out, but along with that light every other device in the same circuit will stop operating.Think of an electric light circuit, in your home, that is controlled by a switch. When the switch is turned off the light goes out. This is an example of a series circuit where ithe switch is in series with the lamp.
What is the function of the switch in circuit?
A switch simply opens a circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. For example: a simple circuit would be two wires from a battery, one of which goes to a switch, and the other goes to a light bulb. A third wire goes from the other side of the switch to the other conductor of the light bulb. With the switch closed the circuit is complete and the light goes on. Open the switch and the circuit is broken and the light goes off.
