All the bulbs will go out.
In a series circuit, the current at all points is the same. This is Kirchoff's Current Law. If you loosen or remove a bulb in a series circuit, the current at that bulb becomes zero, and by Kirchoff's Current Law, the current in every part of the circuit also becomes zero.

When you add a resistor to a series circuit what will happen to the total current?
increase.
What are the two kinds of electrical circuit?
There are four types of circuit: series, parallel, series-parallel, and complex.
How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
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 happen if coil and capacitor are connected in series?
series resonant circuit
What would happen if another bulb was added to another series circuit?
In a series circuit, if another bulb is added, it is going to dim.
Suppose if that houses 1 through 5 were connected by a series circuit. What would happen if one of the lines in the circuit was damaged?
Any gap in a series circuit causes the whole thing to stop working. That is why houses are wired in parallel with each other, and indeed there are many parallel circuits inside each house.
When you add a resistor to a series circuit what will happen to the total current?
increase.
What are the advantage to a parallel circuit?
If one wire was to break only one of the bulbs on the circuit would stop working whereas if one wire broke on a series circuit all the bulbs would stop working.
Why fuse wire is placed in series with the device?
circuit breaker and fuses used in series to break the circuit in overcurrent situation to block current to flow through circuit.

How is a series circuit and a parallel circuit like their circuit names?
A series circuit is actually in series, but a parallel circuit, is Parallel
A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?
Series, because everything in the circuit is in series.
What would happen to the bulbs if three more were added to this series circuit?
Nothing would "happen" to them, but they would glow less brightly.
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 charges in a circuit a when a switch is closed?
the electrons are not allowed to enter into the circuit.
