The total current in the circuit would be reduced by the amount of current that was supplying the bulb. No other bulbs in the circuit would be affected.
The comparison is driving on a highway. If you are driving on a two lane highway and the car in front of you slows down, you must slow down. If you are driving on a four lane highway you may drive beside (parallel) to the car, so if that car slowed down you would not be affected.
What else can I help you with?
What would happen if one bulb burns out in a parallel circuit?
Nothing much will happen except the same bulb will not blow..
What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?
There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.
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.
If you unscrewed the second bulb in the parallel circuit when it was on what happens to the first?
Nothing. That's why it's a parallel circuit. If it was a series circuit, then the first bulb would go out.
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit
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.
Can each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors?
Yes, but then it would be a 'series-parallel' circuit, not a 'parallel' circuit!
What would happen if one of a set of light bulbs burn out in a parallel circuit?
It depends on the circuit. If it is a constant-current circuit, any light bulbs connected in parallel with it will become brighter. If it is a constant-voltage circuit like a typical household circuit, nothing will happen. Any connected in series with it will go out.
What type of circuit would be used in lighting circuit?
A lighting circuit would be a parallel circuit.
What would happen if a wire in a parallel circuit broke?
All of the current would travel down the remaining intact wire - possibly overheating.
A circuit with 4 parallel parts but only one serial part would be called a what kind of circuit?
parallel circuit
What circuit would you use if you were building a house?
A parallel circuit
