When you remove a bulb from a three bulb circuit and the other two bulbs go off then the bulbs must have been connected in?

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.
If two light-bulbs are connected in a series circuit and one of the light-bulb's current flowing is 0.5 A what is the current flowing in the other light-bulb?
Current in a series circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Voltages are additive. Voltage in a parallel circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Currents are additive.
If the filament of the bulb is broken would the circuit be complete?
If the bulb's filament is broken, the whole circuit becomes open. If the bulb is in a series circuit or is the only bulb, the electricity would no longer flow. If the bulb is in a parallel circuit, along with other bulbs, then only the blown bulb would go out, and the other bulbs would still work.
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.)
Two light bulbs of resistance R1 and R2 R2R1 are connected in series Which is brighter?
The brightness of a light bulb is related to its power. In all electrical circuits, power is equal to Voltage*Current. Since the two bulbs are connected in series, they must have equal current. The voltage across any given element in a series circuit is proportional to its resistance, so whichever bulb has the higher resistance has a higher voltage and thus higher power and is brighter.
If you remove one of two bulbs connected to a circuit in a series will the other bulb still shine?
if you have 2 bulbs and one burns out, the other wont shine, if you remove 1 bulb, you are breaking the circuit, and the current cant flow to the second bulb, so no it wouldn't shine.
How are the bulbs wires and battery connected?
The equipment is all connected in series with each other to make a complete electrical circuit.
Are lamps in house connected to series or parallel?
They can be connected to either supply. A bulb in series that fails, will cause all the other bulbs to go out. A bulb in parallel that fails, will have no adverse effect on the other bulbs in that circuit
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.
How must a bulb be connected in a circuit?
It depends on the circuit design and ratings, and what you expect from the bulbs. Bulbs connected in series with each other will have the same amount of current flowing through each one, but possibly differing voltages dropped across them, depending on their ratings. Also, with bulbs connected in series, if any single bulb burns out, or is switched off, or is removed from its socket, then all of the bulbs in the series circuit go dark. Bulbs connected in parallel will have the same voltage across each one, but possibly differing currents through them, depending on their ratings. Always check what type of circuit is in use and what it is designed to do, and ensure the appropriate rating of lamps are used.
Is it true that if two light bulbs are connected in a series circuit and turning off one will not effect the other?
No, If they are in parallel, turning off one won't effect the other.
In a circuit does lamp gets dimmer if more lamps with same battery?
this depends on 1. whether the extra bulbs are being connected in parallel circuit or in series with each other, and 2. the power rating of the battery. supposing the battery power rating is greater than all the individual bulbs put together, the bulbs will glow the same maximum intensity if they are connected in parallel, and will become dimmer if connected end to end i.e in series.
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.
How many 100 watt bulbs can a 110 volt circuit handle?
To answer this question, you need to know how many amps the circuit that is connected to the light bulb can handle. For home applications with a 15 amp circuit and no other loads connected you get: Power = Current * voltage, Substituting the known information yields: power = 15 amps * 110 volts, which is 1650 watts of total capacity. You have 100 watt bulbs, so: 1650/100 = 16.5 bulbs If your circuit is other than 15 amps, or if there is additional loads on the circuit, you must adjust the current or total capacity accordingly
What happens when removing a bulb in a parallel circuit?
The other light bulb still continues to shine if one light bulb is taken out of a parallel circuit. In a series circuit if one light bulb is removed the other light bulb goes black. This happens because the circuit is incomplete.
What is the type of circuit where two bulbs are next to each other?
Series circuit.
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.
