Best Answer

This type of circuit is called a series circuit. Each bulb becomes a part of the circuit and if one burns out or is removed the circuit is open and electricity no longer flows through it.

If you draw a circle and mark an 'x' on its rim and call that the power source. The electricity flows out and through each light and back to the source. If you erase a part of the circle, to represent a blown bulb, the circuit is broken and the electricity does not flow.
