In a parallel circuit nothing would happen. All the other light bulbs would remain on since there is an alternative path for current to flow. In a series circuit the entire circuit would be de-energized and all the bulbs would go out.

What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?

There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.


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.


What will happen to voltage in a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit the voltage across each component is the same.


What happen if you change the position of ammeter in the circuit in parallel and series?

-- In a series circuit, no matter where you install the ammeter, it will always read the same current. -- In a parallel circuit, the ammeter may read a different current when it's moved to a different parallel branch.


What would happen if one bulb burns out in a parallel circuit?

Nothing much will happen except the same bulb will not blow..


What will happen if two dc sources are connected in parallel?

IF two dc sources are connected in parallel, the one with the highest potential dominates the circuit.


What will happen to a buzzer connected to a circuit?

If it is connected in series with a circuit then it might raise the resistance too high and fail the system. Parallel connection is a circuit is probably the best bet you have.


What will happen in a parallel circuit if one of the loops is broken?

If one loop is broken in a parallel circuit, the other branches will continue to operate independently. The current flow through the intact loops will not be affected by the open branch.


What happen when a ammeter is placed in parallel with the circuit?

If an ammeter is placed in parallel with a a load on a circuit, the circuit can short out as the ammeter takes the place of the load, flowing freely through the meter. Never measure across a resister or other electronic load with an ammeter. Remember, ammeters are used in series while voltmeters are used in parallel.


What will happen if dc is applied to the series and parallel combination of capacitors?

a capacitor must be supplied with only a.c supply because if it is supplied with d.c.supply the distance between the capacitors increases and it acts as a open circuit.


What is the advantage of using a parallel circuit as opposed to a series circuit?

If a component of a parallel circuit fails, there are complete pathways for electricity to allow the remaining components to carry on functioning. ( For instance if the living room light bulb fails, the kitchen light can still work.) Also, if you link several bulbs in series, the current through them drops and they are dimmer than one on its own, but this doesn't happen with a parallel circuit.
