If one light goes out on a series-parallel connected string, all of the lights in that particular series string will go out. The other parallel strings will not be affected. If you are asking about Christmas tree lights, please note that most modern low voltage bulb designs make the bulb short out, rather than open, when the filament burns out. This keeps the other bulbs in that series string on, although they now have more power and are more likely to also burn out.

Are the lights in your school connected in series current or parallel current?

Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.

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.


If two light bulbs are connected in a series circuit turning off one will it not affect the other?

no in seriesone light out all others after it fail. like a string of Christmas lights one bulb goes out it's easy to see because all lights after it will not light. in a paralell lighting system if one goes out all the other ones stay on

How do you tune a guitar with a chromatic tuner?

After you get the tuner hooked up, you play a string and if the needle goes to the left of the mark the string is flat and you tune the string up. If it goes to the right of the center mark it is sharp and the string needs to be tuned down. ☺

How did Edison's light bulb work?

Electricity goes through the "electrical foot contact", heats up the wires (connected to the tungsten filament) therefore lighting the light bulb up. The filament is supported by wires. The glass mount holds up the two wires connected to the filament. That is how I think the light bulb works. Have a look.
