I assume you are probably thinking about Christmas lights or something of the sort. The bulbs in many of these appliances are attached in parallel. This means that the current generated by the load is split into different paths, each path servicing one bulb. This is done so if one of the bulbs breaks, or shorts out, current will still be able to flow through the other lights. Think of it like this. Say your school had one corridor, and all the students had to pass through that corridor to change classes. Say that corridor was blocked for some reason. No one would be able to go through the corridor. Everyone would be stuck, and there would be no flow of students. If we imagine the same scenario, this time your school has 1o corridors. If one of them gets blocked, everyone just repositions their paths and goes through one of the remaining nine corridors.

∙ 6y agoIn a parallel circuit, in this case the electrons still have a complete circuit. For example, if it is a DC circuit, the electrons can still go from the negative terminal of a battery, pass through the bulb thatis not unscrewed, and continue to the positive terminal in the battery.

Only a small percentage of the electric energy fed into a light bulb is transformed into light what happens to the remaining energy?
It appears as heat
What happens to appliances when the neutral wire is disconnected?
Of course the u can't use the appliances because no electricity is flowing
What happens to the humidity as the differences of the dry and wet bulb increase?
the relative humidity will decrease.
What happens when the wet and dry bulb thermometers are close together?
The relative humidity is higher.
If i wire three 10 awg wires together can they handle 90 amps?
This would be a bad idea. If, for example, one of the wires became disconnected or cut by accident then the remaining wires would have to carry the current which could result in a fire.
What happens if one bulb burns out on a parallel circuit?
The remaining bulb will be brighter than it was when both bulbs were working - due to the increased voltage.

What happens to a parallel circuit if more bulbs are added?
Total power consumption increases with each bulb. The remaining bulbs continue to operate unchanged.
What happens when you disconnected the wire from the dry cell?
when the wire is disconnected from the dry cell you feel not hot
Why doesn't the emergency brake light come on when depressed?
my guess is that the light bulb behind it is burned out or the wire that engages the light has been disconnected my guess is that the light bulb behind it is burned out or the wire that engages the light has been disconnected
Service engine light will not come on?
Either the bulb is bad or a previous owner disconnected it because it would not go out with the vehicle running. hOW DO YOU GET TO THE BULB??
What happens to the light bulbs when one is disconnected?
It depends on the light bulbs. Some will all go out once one is disconnected and only that one that got disconnected will go out.
Do both lights turn off if one bulb is taken out from a series circuit?
Yes. A typical light bulb socket is an open circuit when the bulb is removed, thus blocking the flow of current and turning off the remaining bulb. The removed bulb would go out too, of course. It is possible to imagine a bulb socket that reverts to a closed circuit when the bulb is removed. In that case, the remaining bulb would remain lit.
How do i replace front turn signal bulb on 1993 Volvo 850?
The front turn signal bulb on a 1993 Volvo 850 is replaced by prying out the lenses cover. The bulb can then be disconnected, unscrewed, and a new bulb put in its place.
When the tps sensor is disconnected from the car in idle what happens?
When the TPS sensor is disconnected from the car in idle, there would be delayed acceleration.
What happens when a bulb is switched on?
when a light bulb is switched on it will blown..............
How do you replace a brake light bulb on Jaguar X-Type?
The brake light bulb on a Jaguar X-Type is replaced by opening the trunk and unscrewing the rear cover. The wiring harness can then be disconnected, the bulb removed, and a new bulb put in its place.
