------------------------------------------ I hope this helps :-) ---- Visualize two parallel lines like a ladder. One is the "hot" line and the other is the neutral. Now visualize the cross rungs in the ladder. These will be the loads on the circuit. Go from the "hot side of the ladder through a switch and through a light bulb to the neutral side of the ladder. Go up one rung on the ladder and add another switch and light bulb. Go up one more rung and connect a receptacle from the "hot" side of the ladder to the neutral side of the ladder. This is how house circuits are wired on each breaker circuit. This circuit could be for one room only. Another circuit could be wired for another room , and so on. As you can visualize turning the light off and on does not effect any of the other devices connected to the same circuit.
What else can I help you with?
Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?
Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.
In what type of circuit would a burned out light bulb cause other light bulbs in the circuit to go out?
This is the case in a series circuit. (like the small Christmas lights.)
Will adding light bulbs to a parallel circuit causes all of the light bukbs to shine less brightly?
No. In a parallel circuit, the resistance gets cut in half, so logically the bulbs would do the opposite and get brighter.
What would be different about the circuit if a resistor were added in series with the light bulbs?
The total current in the circuit will decrease.
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.
Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?
Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.
When the two bulbs are in placewhat happens?
When two light bulbs are in place, there will be a circuit created where electricity can flow through both bulbs. If the circuit is intact and the bulbs are functioning, they will both light up. If one of the bulbs is faulty or the circuit is broken, then both bulbs may not light up.
What do light bulbs do in a circuit?
light up
What happens to the voltages across the light bulbs in a parallel circuit change as more light bulbs are added to the circuit?
nothing
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.
If you have three light bulbs on a circuit but all the bulbs have a different electrical path what kind of circuit do you have?
Parallel.
If you have 3 light bulbs on a single circuit what kind of circuit do you have?
Parallel
What would happen in the series circuit with 2 light bulbs if one of the light bulbs goes out?
In a series circuit with two light bulbs, if one bulb goes out, the entire circuit is interrupted. This means that electricity cannot flow through the circuit, causing both bulbs to go dark. Since the bulbs are connected in series, the failure of one component affects the entire circuit's functionality. Therefore, both light bulbs would stop working until the faulty bulb is replaced or repaired.
Will a circuit with two light bulbs in series light up?
Yes, a circuit with two light bulbs connected in series can light up. Current flows through the first light bulb, then through the second, allowing both bulbs to illuminate. If one bulb burns out, however, both bulbs will go out.
What does the light bulb do in a circuit?
Bulbs convert an electrical energy to produce light
Why does it not effect any of the light bulbs when you take one light bulb out from the parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit, each light bulb has its own separate path for the current to flow, so removing one light bulb does not interrupt the current to the other light bulbs. The remaining light bulbs will continue to work because the circuit is not broken.
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.
