You create dangerous glass shards and release the chemicals inside the bulb. These include phosphorous but more importantly a small amount of Mercury which is a dangerous bio-hazard and pollutant. you should dispose of used fluorescent bulbs safely in a recycling facility which will recover the mercury.
I assume you re asking that if a bulb in series circuit burns out, then what happens to the other bulbs. If a bulb in a series circuit burns out, other bulb do not light, since the circuit s broken.
The US Environmental Protection Agency provides information on mercury released from a break and how to clean it up as safely as possible.
If the lamps are connected in series, then all the other lamps would go out. If the lamps are connected in parallel, then the other lamps would remain on.
The current stops, so all the lights go out.
The burnt out bulb needs to be replaced, as it will no longer emit light.
The circuit is opened and the current flow stops. Final result, the light bulb goes out if it was operating when the filament broke.
They will go about their day as if the one that, you know, went "bye-bye" never even existed. Pretty inconsiderate for a lightbulb, am I right?
They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
The costs of manufacturing costs of fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs are about the same aside from the slight different materials.

Which state helps produce light in fluorescent lightbulbs?
On the one hand, fluorescent bulbs contain toxic materials that can be released when the bulb is dumped. On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs last so much longer than do regular, or incandescent, bulbs that this problem is minimised. More importanlty, fluorescent bulbs use only about one-fifth the electricity of incandescent bulbs, thus helping us to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and therefore slow down global warming. Since global warming is by far the greatest environmental danger we face, fluorescent bulbs must be better for the environment.
They are known as CFL bulbs. It stands for Compact Fluorescent Lamps.
Fluorescent bulb is the more efficient one as compared to incandescent bulbs.
Fluorescent bulbs are different from other bulbs in that they use less energy, which makes them cheaper to use, while they're lighting up a much larger area. However one must be careful as they break easily, and the powder inside is harmful when breathed in.
It's unlikely unless you strike the glass portion of the lamp. I've installed and serviced 100s of thousands of fluorescent lamps in my job and have never seen one break by itself.
Yes, and not just because of the glass it is made of. The bulbs have mercury inside of them which can make you ill.
Fluorescent bulbs can be purchased at most home improvement stores. Some examples are Lowe's and Home Depot. Buying fluorescent bulbs in bulk is the cheapest way to buy the bulbs.
Yes but not as much as incandiscent bulbs
No, incandescent and fluorescent bulbs do not produce the same amount of heat.
of course.... you will die XD
fluorescent light bulbs are usually from 9$-15$.
You can find information on fluorescent bulbs all over the internet. You can also check packages of the bulbs at department stores or grocery stores where they are sold.
Fluorescent light bulbs use less electricity for the amount of light produced.
