Why you can't usually swap bulbs between series and parallel sets of lights?

If it is in the same circuit, the voltage would not be the same.
ANSWER: That is possible if both bulbs have the same rating of volts and amperes

Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
How could you determine whether a string of lights is in series or parallel?
on applying same power the one which glows brighter is the one connected in parallel connection.
What circiuts are found in your home and school series or parallel?
You're home/school outlets and lights are in parallel with each other. The fuses or breakers in your home / school are in series with these lights and outlets. Extentions cords / battery backups are in series with whatever is plugged into them.
You are building a string of lights using several bulbs how is the brightness of the lights related to whether you connect the bulbs in series or in parallel?
Overall brightness (not individual bulbs' brightness) will increase when we connect them in parallel & it will decrease when we connect them in series.
Do lights get dimmer when they are placed in a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
um.. a switch is a part of a series circuit because parallel circuits don't have switches
What type of circuit has little to no resistance and will usually blow a fuse?
there are three types of circuits. Series,parallel,parallel-series. Series circuits usually are involved with dimming lights, and blown fuses.
Are Christmas tree lights parallel or series?
They are parallel, or at least you HOPE they are parallel.
What is the difference between series and parallel Christmas lights?
With series Christmas lights, if one burns out, the whole string stops working. With parallel Christmas lights one light burning out only affects that light. This makes it much easier to replace burned out lights in the case of the parallel lights.
Where can you you find a circuit?
Your house wiring, Christmas lights (usually ~50 are in series, so if you have a string of 200, you have 4 parallel groups of 50 series lights), sound systems using multiple speakers on a single channel (usually wired in parallel, but could be in series depending on speaker and amp spec).
What can you infer about whether or not your house lights are connected in series or parallel?
House lights are wired in parallel. If they were in series, when one burned out, all would. Christmas lights are wired in a combination of series and parallel - roughly 50 lights in each series string. that's why if one bulb burns out, a section of the lights goes out.
Do you wire 12 volt down lights in series or parallel?
Parallel.
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
Why lights in classroom is connected in series or in parallel?
only two connections are possible.. parallel connection is always desired than series. .
What type of circuit will produce brighter lights is it series circular direct or parallel?
Parallel connections will draw more current than equivalent lights connected in series, so the parallel configuration will be brighter.
Are house circuits series or parallel?
Everything in a house is wired in parallel. If you had lights is series when one burns out they would all go out, much like cheap Christmas lights.
Are the lights in your school connected in series current or parallel current?
Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.
Electric lights will not come on unless their electrical circuit is a parallel circuit?
No, electric lights come in both parallel and series circuit.
