If one light bulb burns out but other light bulbs stay lit what type of arrangement is this?

That is a parallel circuit. Each bulb is wired directly to the power and not through each other.
A Christmas tree light set is an example of a series circuit, and often up to 3 series circuits in parallel. Because the sets are wired in parallel, a missing bulb in one of the series sets only affects that one set, and thus 2/3 of the lights may still work.

When one light bulb in a series circuit containing several light bulbs burns out?
then the other light bulbs in the circuit go out. However, in the case of modern Christmas tree lights in series, the bulbs are designed to short out when they blow, so that the other bulbs do not go out. They do get brighter, however, and this can lead to cascade failure, but that is why there is often a fuse in the plug.
Is the halogen bulb a hotter heat then other light bulbs?
sometimes.It depends on the other bulbs
Other than light what two other forms of energy are in light bulbs?
I'm assuming that the light bulbs you're referring to are the normal light bulbs... Heat energy and electrical energy... that like cookies What do you mean by that like cookies alot??????????? Cookies are good...yum yum..
What are five common types of light bulbs?
there are 98 different kinds of light bulbs. including colored light bulbs
What chemical element other than fluorine is used in some light bulbs?
sodium is used in street lights,thats why they have a yellowish/orange colour Answer: Neon & Argon are used in light bulbs.

Once a light bulb burns out anywhere in my house all the other light bulbs go out and wont turn back on?
Try to check your breaker.the breaker trip off.
What happens if one bulb burns out on a parallel circuit?
The remaining bulb will be brighter than it was when both bulbs were working - due to the increased voltage.

Quite often on a Christmas tree if one light bulb burns out none of the lights work until the defective bulb is replaced The reason for this is that the bulbs are connected?
Its because it is in a parallel circuit and the dead bulb stops the power from continuing on to the other bulbs on the circuit.
Why does it not effect any of the light bulbs when you take one light bulb out from the parallel circuit?
EASY.The removed light bulb does not have any connection to the other light bulbs. While it's socket that was holding the lght bulb has power running through it to the other bulbs also.
How much energy can you save with buying new light bulbs?
By buying and using new LED light bulbs, it is possible to save 12% of energy which is 90% more effective than other light bulbs and can save about $26.

When did Nikolai Tesla invented light bulbs?
Nikolai Tesla did not invent light bulbs. That was done by a number of other people, each improving on previous ideas.
What is the effect if a bulb is broken in a parallel or series circuit?
parallel circuit: Providing that the breakage does not result in a short circuit the other bulbs will still light. series circuit: If the breakage results in a short circuit through the bulb the other bulbs will light more brightly. If the breakage results in a breakage of the connection through the bulb then the other bulbs will not 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.
What light bulb is cheapest to use?
LED bulbs have a longer life and convert more electricity into light than other bulbs but the price to buy them is still very high.
