Why did the other bulb go out also when you unscrewed the circuit?

Without seeing the circuit involved no real answer can be given. I would guess you have a diagram of the circuit, tracing it out should answer your question.

What happens when a light bulb is unscrewed in a series 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!
When one bulb goes out the other bulb remains lit in a(n)?
Parallel circuit
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).
What is a circuit that lights up even if one bulb is out?
A parallel circuit lights up even when one bulb is out.
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 happens when you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?
If you unscrewed any bulb in the circuit it would turn all of the bulbs off.
If you unscrewed the second bulb in the parallel circuit when it was on what happens to the first?
Nothing. That's why it's a parallel circuit. If it was a series circuit, then the first bulb would go out.
When one bulb is unscrewed in a series circuit does the other bulb stay lit?
You break the circuit and they both extinguish (go out).Answer: The circuit will open up causing the current to quit flowing to both bulbs therefore there will be no lighted bulbsCommentYou also have the full supply voltage appearing across the empty lampholder!
If you unscrewed the second bulb in the series circuit when it was on explain what happens to the first?
Unscrewing any bulb in a series circuit turns them all off. This is the same as opening the switch that controls them.
In which circuit did screwing out one bulb not influence the lighting of the other bulb?
A parallel circuit will not effect the other bulb. If the bulbs are in a series circuit the other bulb will not turn on.
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.
What is the difference between a light bulb and a pregnant women?
A light bulb can be unscrewed. Hahaha
What happens when a bulb gets fused?
When a bulb fuses the circuit is broken if it is on a serial circuit. If the bulb is on a parallel circuit, only the fused bulb will go out, any other bulb would remain lit. On a serial circuit, until the bulb is replaced by a new one, the circuit is not able to be used.
What happen with the brightness of the bulb when one unscrewed in parallel?
Provided that the power supply is reasonably well regulated, the failureor removal of one device in a parallel circuit has no effect on the others.
If a light bulb is missing in a series circuit will the bulb light?
If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.

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.
