The test lamp is like a medival tool to a multimeter


How is a test lamp used?

The big advantage to using a test lamp is that it allows you to know if the circuit is "hot" before you work on it. All good electricians shut the circuit off before starting any work on electrical circuits.


Main front bulb not working even after its been changed?

You have an open circuit. Get a test lamp and check the switch,If your test lamp lights up follow the wiring to the bulb to find your open circuit. If it does not light up follow the wiring back towards power source [battery] 'til you find it.


What type of circuit is it where removing one lamp leaves the other on?

It is a series circuit. In a series circuit, the components are connected in a single path so if one lamp is removed, the circuit is broken and the other lamp will not receive electricity.

If an insulator with a lamp is connected in a electrical circuit The switch is turned-on What happens?

If an insulator with a lamp is connected in an electrical circuit and the switch is turned on, the lamp will not light up. Insulators do not allow the flow of electric current, so the circuit will not be completed, and no electricity will reach the lamp to cause it to light up.
