What would be different if only one light bulb were wired in this circuit instead of two?
I you wired a light bulb in to the same circuit you have the possibility of over loading the circuit but other than that it would just be brighter.
What is the 3 advantages of parallel circuit over a series circuit?
The advantages of parallel circuits are that if one component, e.g. light bulb fails, the other ones will keep functioning. The problem with series circuits are that if one light bulb fails, the others are also affected.
What happens when one light bulb burns out in a series circuit?
All of the light bulbs in the series circuit would go out.
Why is the series arrangement not used for domestic circuits?
In series, each device creates a voltage drop related to the current and impedence of the device, therefore, the voltage for the devices in the circuit are not the same. Addition: Also, in a series circuit, if one device fails, all others in the circuit would also "turn off" - think older strands of Christmas lights. Lets say for example that all the lights in your house were in a series circuit. When you turned the circuit on, all the lights would come on, but when you turn the switch off, all the lights would also go off (possibly useful when leaving for the day or going to bed). Now, one light bulb blows out...every light in the house would go out, leaving you to try replacing every light in the house until you found the correct one...in the dark.
If a light bulb is missing in a series circuit will the bulb light?
If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.

If two light-bulbs are connected in a series circuit and one of the light-bulb's current flowing is 0.5 A what is the current flowing in the other light-bulb?
Current in a series circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Voltages are additive. Voltage in a parallel circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Currents are additive.
What are trhe advantages of parallel circuits?
One of the parallel circuit focal points is that it guarantees all parts of the circuit have the same voltage as the source. Case in point, the second or each extra light added to the circuit would have the same shine.
When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one light bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called a circuit?
That would be a parallel circuit.

What would be the advantage of a parallel circuit?
Consistent voltage. One of the advantages of parallel circuits is the fact that they ensure that all components in the circuit has the same voltage as the source. All bulbs in a string of lights, for example, will have the same brightness. Another well popularized advantage of the importance of a parallel circuit is the case of Christmas tree lights. At one point in time, if one light on the string of lights on the tree burnt, all the lights would go out and you would have to look one by one to see which one was the cause. This is because it was - guess what - a series circuit! In our modern parallel circuits on Christmas trees if a light goes out the rest will still light.
When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called?
The question is ambiguous, however one possibility is a parallel circuit, which would permit one light bulb to remain lit while the other light bulb was switched off. By contrast, if the light bulbs were connected in a series circuit, switching one light bulb off would cause both lights to go off.

That would be a parallel circuit.

That would be a parallel circuit.
The circuit is a series circuit because?
The same current flows through both light bulbs.If one of the resistors run out of power,the whole circuit shuts down
What is the name of a circuit when one light is on and you press a button and a nouther light comes on then after a while it changes back?
I think you are talking about a timing circuit. More specifically, it would be an "off delay" timing circuit.
Why do you think one light bulb stayed on when the other light bulb was unhooked in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit each bulb has the same voltage applied so if one bulbfails all the others will remain lit.
