In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit. Any break will totally remove power from all of the circuit.Parallel circuits have more than one branch where the current can flow. A broken wire will only affect one part, the rest of the circuit will still pass current.In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit.

No. Circuit is open but still HOT.
Yes, even it is not working, water will still run through it.Yes, even it is not working, water will still run through it.
The bulb will shine as long as it is still part of a complete circuit. You probably have a diagram for such a circuit. See if you can still trace a path through the battery and one of the bulbs without passing through the other bulb. For comparison, try the same thing with a diagram of a series circuit.
In a parallel circuit (with more than one branch), the current will still flow in the other circuit(s) even if there is a break in one circuit. This is not so with a series circuit, since it does not have branches: if there is a break in the circuit, there is a break in the circuit.
The battery is the power source of the circuit. It supplies current to the circuit and the circuit is simply a path for the current to follow. When you remove the current (battery), the path still exists but there is no current going through it.
no because when you remove the lamp the circuit is still open; even if the switch is on
Fuse, switch, wiring, ground circuit.
The disadvantage of a parallel circuit is that if one component fails, the other components will still work, making it harder to identify the faulty component. In a series circuit, if one component fails, it breaks the circuit and all components will stop working.
In a parallel circuit, the other bulb still works when one fails.

I am working on changing my 93 Explorer ignition switch now. As soon as I figure it out I will let you know. :-) Still working on it.
To fix outlets that are not working properly, first check the circuit breaker to see if it has tripped. If not, turn off the power to the outlet and remove the cover plate to inspect for loose wires or connections. Tighten any loose connections and replace any damaged wires. If the outlet still doesn't work, it may need to be replaced by a qualified electrician.
Parallel circuit
if you have 2 bulbs and one burns out, the other wont shine, if you remove 1 bulb, you are breaking the circuit, and the current cant flow to the second bulb, so no it wouldn't shine.
The methodical way is to remove devices one-by-one from the circuit and after each device is removed, reset the breaker or GFCI and see if it still trips.
To reset a disposal unit, locate the reset button on the bottom of the unit and press it. If the disposal is still not working, check the circuit breaker to ensure it is not tripped.
