What is the type of circuit where two bulbs are next to each other?

Series circuit.


If one of the bulbs in a string of lights is missing but the lights still work what type of circuit connects the lights?

The lights are most likely connected in a parallel circuit. In a parallel circuit, each light bulb has its own separate path to the power source. Therefore, if one bulb is missing or burnt out, the other bulbs can still receive power and continue to work.


What type of circuit is it called when light bulbs one after another are connected?

In series


Which type of circuit a series circuit or a parallel circuit would allow the light bulbs to burn brighter?

In a parallel circuit, each light bulb would receive the full voltage of the power source, allowing them to burn brighter compared to a series circuit where the voltage is divided among the bulbs.


In what type of circuit would a burned out light bulb cause other light bulbs in the circuit to go out?

This is the case in a series circuit. (like the small Christmas lights.)


What happened to the other bulbs when you unscrewed one?

When you unscrew one bulb from a series circuit, the electrical path is broken, causing all the other bulbs in that circuit to go out. In a parallel circuit, however, the remaining bulbs continue to function because each one has its own independent path to the power source. Therefore, the outcome depends on the type of circuit configuration.


What is the type of circuit where bulbs are next to each other?

The type of circuit where bulbs are next to each other is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, the current flows through each component in a single path, making it so that if one bulb goes out, the entire circuit will be broken and all bulbs will turn off. This is in contrast to a parallel circuit, where each component has its own separate path for the current to flow, allowing the other bulbs to stay lit even if one goes out.


What happens to the current measured as more bulbs added?

It is unclear what type of circuit you are referring to, so I'll give both answers.parallel, current increases until too many bulbs have been added, then circuit breaker pops and current drops to zero.series, current decreases and all bulbs dim.


What is the type of circuit that will not work when a component burns out?

In a series circuit, if one component burns out, the circuit will not work because the current flow is interrupted by the burnt-out component. This is because components in a series circuit share the same current.


Why the relative brightness of two light bulbs change when the type of circuit is changed?

When your circuit is in SERIES, each individual bulb will receive one fraction of the voltage of the battery, allowing the full chain of bulbs to draw less current, but to be dimmer in the same respect. When your circuit is in PARALLEL, each bulb will receive the same voltage, however more current will be drawn, so it depends on your situation on which you should use.


What type of 60 watt bulbs are recommended for use with a candelabra?

The recommended type of 60 watt bulbs for use with a candelabra are candelabra bulbs.


What is an electric current flowing in only one direction?

An electric current flowing in only one direction is called direct current (DC). This type of current has a constant flow of electrons in one direction from the negative to the positive terminal of a power source, such as a battery.
