What else can I help you with?
When lights are wired such that if one bulb fails the entire string of lights goes out they are said to be wired in?
series
How do you wire a 240 volt street light circuit?
A 240 volt street light circuit is wired in parallel connections. In the base of the street fixture an inline fuse is connected into the circuit that goes up to the fixture to protect the lamp head.
What kind of circuit is best for a string of holiday lights?
A parallel circuit is best because if one light goes out the others remain lit.
Is a light bulb a series or parallel circuit?
Lights at home are connected in parallel. (Switches are connected in series with the lights in order to turn them on and off.) This way, each light receives the same voltage. Placing the lights in series would divide the voltage between the lights, reducing the power of each, and it would have the effect that one light burning out would cause all the others on the same circuit to stop working.
What happens when one light bulb goes out in a series?
The failed bulb breaks the circuit so no current can flow - so the other bulb goes out (but is OK).
If you have a string of lights and one light goes out but the others stay lit which type of circuit do you have?
The lights are wired in parallel.
What is it called when one light goes out and they all go out?
It is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, if one light bulb goes out, it breaks the circuit and causes all the lights to go out.

series
What are the differences between series circuit lights and parallel circuit lights in terms of energy changes?
In a series circuit the lights share the voltage between them equally and the current stays the same throughout and if one bulb fuses the the other will not work. For the parallel, the voltage is the full voltage from the battery in all bulbs and the current is split between the different routes, and if one goes out the other one will stay lighten.
What happens to lights in parallel if one goes out?
In a series circuit each light completes its part of the circuit and connects to the next light. So, if one light fails, the circuit is broken and the flow of current to all lights must stop.
Which occurrence would lead you to conclude that lights are connected in a combined circuit?
If turning off one light in a series of lights causes all the lights to turn off, then they are likely connected in a combined circuit. In a combined circuit, the lights share the same pathway for electricity to flow, so interrupting the circuit at one light affects all the lights in the series.

Why are stringed lights wired in a parallel circuit instead of a simple circuit?
Tree lights have parallel circuits because the rest of the lights will remain on if one goes out. Imagine trying to find the one bad bulb on a string of lights if one were to go out. This way, only one light goes out, so it can easily be found and replaced. Hope this helps!
What happens in a parallel circuit if one light goes out?
In a parallel circuit, if one light goes out, the other lights will continue to function normally. This is because each branch in a parallel circuit has its own separate path for current flow, so the failure of one component does not affect the others.
Why does the string of lights go out if 1 goes out?
This type of circuit is called a series circuit. Each bulb becomes a part of the circuit and if one burns out or is removed the circuit is open and electricity no longer flows through it. If you draw a circle and mark an 'x' on its rim and call that the power source. The electricity flows out and through each light and back to the source. If you erase a part of the circle, to represent a blown bulb, the circuit is broken and the electricity does not flow.
How are parallel circuit lights better than series circuit lights using science facts?
In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for electricity to flow. So, if one switch is turned off there is still other paths for electricity to flow so the other lights can remain on. However, in a series circuit there is only one path for the electricity to travel. So, if the switch in a series circuit was turned off the electricity would stop flowing causing all the lights to go out.
