In a combination of a parallel and series circuit what would happen if a light bulb was unscrewed?

In a parallel circuit nothing would happen. All the other light bulbs would remain on since there is an alternative path for current to flow. In a series circuit the entire circuit would be de-energized and all the bulbs would go out.

What happen with the brightness of the bulb when one unscrewed in parallel?
Provided that the power supply is reasonably well regulated, the failureor removal of one device in a parallel circuit has no effect on the others.
What happen if you change the position of ammeter in the circuit in parallel and series?
-- In a series circuit, no matter where you install the ammeter, it will always read the same current. -- In a parallel circuit, the ammeter may read a different current when it's moved to a different parallel branch.
What will happen to the total current if you keep adding bulbs in parallel to the circuit?
Adding more lamps in parallel (across) a line will cause total current to climb. It will keep climbing (increasing) until a load protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) breaks the circuit or until something fails because of excessive current.
What will happen to the resistance and the brightness if you add a light bulb to the circuit?
If a rheostat is connected in parallel with a light bulb, the setting of the rheostat should have no effect on the performance of the light bulb, as long as the power supply is able to maintain its output voltage and deliver the current demanded by their parallel combination.
When three bulbs connected to a battery in parallel circuit what will happen to the brightness of the bulbs?
The brightness of three bulb would be mare than one
What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?
There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.
What happen with the brightness of the bulb when one unscrewed in parallel?

What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.
What will happen if you change polarity in parallel circuit?
The current in each branch of the circuit will turn and flow in the other direction.
What happen if you change the position of ammeter in the circuit in parallel and series?
-- In a series circuit, no matter where you install the ammeter, it will always read the same current. -- In a parallel circuit, the ammeter may read a different current when it's moved to a different parallel branch.
What would happen if one bulb burns out in a parallel circuit?
Nothing much will happen except the same bulb will not blow..
What will happen if two dc sources are connected in parallel?
IF two dc sources are connected in parallel, the one with the highest potential dominates the circuit.
What will happen to a buzzer connected to a circuit?
If it is connected in series with a circuit then it might raise the resistance too high and fail the system. Parallel connection is a circuit is probably the best bet you have.
What will happen to the two lights in a parallel circuit when one of the wires is disconnected?
one light will still be going
What will happen if dc is applied to the series and parallel combination of capacitors?
a capacitor must be supplied with only a.c supply because if it is supplied with d.c.supply the distance between the capacitors increases and it acts as a open circuit.
What happen when a ammeter is placed in parallel with the circuit?
If an ammeter is placed in parallel with a a load on a circuit, the circuit can short out as the ammeter takes the place of the load, flowing freely through the meter. Never measure across a resister or other electronic load with an ammeter. Remember, ammeters are used in series while voltmeters are used in parallel.
What is the advantage of using a parallel circuit as opposed to a series circuit?
If a component of a parallel circuit fails, there are complete pathways for electricity to allow the remaining components to carry on functioning. ( For instance if the living room light bulb fails, the kitchen light can still work.) Also, if you link several bulbs in series, the current through them drops and they are dimmer than one on its own, but this doesn't happen with a parallel circuit.
