A parallel circuit lights up even when one bulb is out.
In a series circuit there is only one path through every component in the circuit. Breaking that path by removing a bulb will stop the current flow...all lights go out.
Removing any bulb breaks the continuity of a series circuit, stopping the flow of electrical current. Removing a bulb in a parallel circuit does not interrupt the current flow, so the remaining lights continue to conduct electrical current.
Both are same. Only thing it depends upon the incoming voltage. In series ciruity if one bulb fails, the ciruit continuity breaks . In case of paraleel circuit even if one bulb fails the circuit continuity will not get affected
Parallel circuit
All other light bulbs will turn off due to the series circuit being broken. The electrons cannot travel all the way through, hence the current will also not flow in the circuit, switching off all the other bulbs too.CommentIt's worth pointing out that the full supply voltage will then appear across the lamp holder -so take care!

Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest of the bulbs will go out. But with parallel circuit lights, if one bulb blows the rest of the bulbs will remain their brightness.
If you remove one light from a chain of lights, and the other lights turn off, then it is a 'series' circuit.

Christmas tree lights, this parallel circuit prevents one bulb failure from turning off the whole string of lights.

In a series circuit, if any one bulb goes open the rest of the lights will go out. The current flow in a series circuit is common throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit when one bulb goes open the rest remain on due to the configuration of a parallel circuit.
The set in parallel prevents a single bulb failure to cause all bulbs to go dark. Many old sets of lights are in fact wired serially, which means that repairing a failure is a very tedious process; it's necessary to test and/or replace each bulb until the bad one is found.
all the lights would go out which is why most new lights these days are wired in parallel or prevent that from happening and then you just replace the one bulb... some lights have both a series and parallel circuit in a complete light circuit. for example (A) the complete light circuit has 4 (B) series sections and with each series circuit you have a (C) parallel circuit... so when (A) is lit up and the 3rd section of (B) is lit up and one bulb is out you have a bulb failure in the (C) circuit and if the same scenario is there and the first bulb in the (b) section is out the entire (B) section would be out which is a series circuit failure. Hope this helps
The bulbs are in connected series. There was a short circuit and the circuit breaker tripped.
