You can find out more information on how many new fixtures can be put in a circuit by going to a home improvement store such as Lowe's or Home Depot or going to their direct website.
What else can I help you with?
When a home circuit breaker opens the lights in some rooms go off but the lights in some rooms stay on. Explain why.?
The circuit breakers in a panelboard feed separate circuits. The lights that stay on are on a different circuit than the ones that go off. To fine the circuit that feeds the lights that stay on, go to the panelboard and turn off the breakers one by one until the lights go out. This is the circuit that feeds that circuit of lights. Remember that lights and receptacles can be on the same circuit together.
Why does removing one bulb from a string of lights in a series circuit cause all the lights to go out?
In a series circuit there is only one path through every component in the circuit. Breaking that path by removing a bulb will stop the current flow...all lights go out.
What is it called when one light goes out and they all go out?
It is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, if one light bulb goes out, it breaks the circuit and causes all the lights to go out.
Would you use Series or parallel circuit for Christmas lights?
Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest of the bulbs will go out. But with parallel circuit lights, if one bulb blows the rest of the bulbs will remain their brightness.

Why are parallel Christmas lights better than series?
In a series circuit, if any one bulb goes open the rest of the lights will go out. The current flow in a series circuit is common throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit when one bulb goes open the rest remain on due to the configuration of a parallel circuit.
How are parallel circuit lights better than series circuit lights using science facts?
In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for electricity to flow. So, if one switch is turned off there is still other paths for electricity to flow so the other lights can remain on. However, in a series circuit there is only one path for the electricity to travel. So, if the switch in a series circuit was turned off the electricity would stop flowing causing all the lights to go out.
What are the differences between series circuit lights and parallel circuit lights in terms of energy changes?
In a series circuit the lights share the voltage between them equally and the current stays the same throughout and if one bulb fuses the the other will not work. For the parallel, the voltage is the full voltage from the battery in all bulbs and the current is split between the different routes, and if one goes out the other one will stay lighten.
If a wire on a series circuit is disconnected what will happen to the two lights?
If a wire on a series circuit is disconnected, both lights will go out. In a series circuit, current flows through each component in sequence, so if the circuit is broken by disconnecting a wire, the current cannot flow through either light.
If you remove one bulb from a string of lights all the remaining lights will go out. are the lights in a series circuit or parallel circuit Explain?
Removing any bulb breaks the continuity of a series circuit, stopping the flow of electrical current. Removing a bulb in a parallel circuit does not interrupt the current flow, so the remaining lights continue to conduct electrical current.
What type of circuit is wired so that if one light goes out all the lights go out?
its a series connection
Why does the string of lights go out if 1 goes out?
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.
