If one light bulb went out in a closed circuit would the others stay lit?

If multiple bulbs are in series across the power source,
then failure of one bulb extinguishes all bulbs.
If multiple bulbs are in parallel across the power source,
then failure of one bulb leaves the others unaffected.

What would happen if you didn't have a light bulb for a circuit?
it would be ok in a circuit which didn't need a light bulb.
What can you do to a closed circuit consisting of a battery a light bulb and a switch that would decrease the amount of current?
To increase the current you either need to reduce the resistance of the load or increase the voltage. Typically a higher wattage light bulb will decrease resistance or you could put multiple batteries in series.
What is a system that would be dangerous if resistance were not a part of a circuit?
Oh, VERY MANY! For example, a cord wrapped with rubber would be quite deadly. A light bulb that was incandescent would probably not produce light at all.
Why would you put a fuse on the neutral side of an electrical circuit?
It does not matter what line in (the phase or neutral) is the fuse. In a closed series circuit current in all areas of the circuit is equal. It's best to put the fuses in both wires (phase and neutral) and even better for each individual device in the chain.
how many rooms are allowed on one lighting circuit?
Unless you do not have enough space in the service panel it is always a good idea to have each room on it's own circuit. If you want to put 2 rooms on a circuit just make sure those 2 rooms do not overload the circuit and wire it for a 20 amp circuit. Two bedrooms with 8 outlets each and 1 light each is about all you would want on the circuit. I would never put 3 rooms on the same circuit.
Do you need an open circuit or closed circuit for a garage door open light?
In order to illuminate the light, you need a closed circuit. It would be normally open, and closed to indicate that the door is open.
What is a circuit called if its operating and the current is flowing?
This is called a closed circuit. If current was not flowing, it would be open.
Which would be better in lighting a house a closed or an open circuit?

What is a closed electric circuit?
An example of a closed electrical circuit would be a battery to a light bulb, the only source of power being the battery and no other input from an outside source. Like video cameras in a store they would be considered a closed circuit surveillance system so long as the signals stay inside the store and don't leave to a remote location.
What is the name for the unbroken path that follows?
That would be called a 'circuit' or 'closed circuit'.
What is the difference between open and close switch?
In an open circuit no cuttent can flow so the switch would have to be in the off position- the switch is open and not completing the circuit. A closed circuit is one where current can flow all the way through, the switch would have to on and therefore closed.
What is the function of the switch in circuit?
A switch simply opens a circuit, stopping the flow of electricity. For example: a simple circuit would be two wires from a battery, one of which goes to a switch, and the other goes to a light bulb. A third wire goes from the other side of the switch to the other conductor of the light bulb. With the switch closed the circuit is complete and the light goes on. Open the switch and the circuit is broken and the light goes off.

What is the antonym of circuit?
The answer would simply be: A closed circuit, un-open path, closed , un openable?? some of thoughs? maybe?
What happens when a circuit is not complete?
a complete circuit is a circuit through which a current can flow(see closed circuit)A complete circuit is almost like a circle. Energy flows through this circle in order to make the light bulb light.A circuit that has a power source, a load such as a light or motor to power and a ground point.A complete circut is a circut with no gaps.
