If one bulb in a series circuit blows out, the circuit becomes open, and the current stops flowing. As a result, the reading on the ammeter will drop to zero since there is no current passing through the circuit. In a parallel circuit, if one bulb blows out, the current may decrease slightly due to the change in total resistance, but the ammeter will still show a reading corresponding to the remaining bulbs in operation.
What else can I help you with?
What is the connection of the reading of a ammeter and the brightness of the bulb?
If the current is stronger then the bulb will be brighter.The reading is much easier when you sit under the brighter bulb.
Why some material don't cause bulb to glow but give an ammeter reading?
Some materials may not cause a bulb to glow because they have high resistance, which limits the current flowing through the circuit, resulting in insufficient power to light the bulb. However, these materials can still conduct a small amount of current, allowing the ammeter to register a reading. This indicates that while the material allows some flow of electricity, it doesn't provide enough energy to activate the bulb. In essence, the bulb requires a certain threshold of current to glow, which some materials do not meet despite showing a current flow on the ammeter.
What components do you need to make a simple series light bulb?
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
Where is the best place to put an ammeter in the circuit to measure the current going through the light bulb?
Since (by Kirchoff's current law) the current in a series circuit is the same at every point in the series circuit, it does not matter where you place the ammeter.
How do you know when electric current is flowing in a light bulb circuit?
You know if current is flowing in a bulb circuit because, if there is enough power (voltage times current), the bulb will illuminate. If there is current, but not enough power to illuminate the bulb, you will need to measure the current with an ammeter to see if there is any current.
What happens when a bulb ammeter battery and switch are put connected together?
the bulb will glow and ammeter will show the reading
What is the connection of the reading of a ammeter and the brightness of the bulb?
If the current is stronger then the bulb will be brighter.The reading is much easier when you sit under the brighter bulb.
How much current goes into the bulb if ammeter reading is 0.4?
The answer to this depends on where the ammeter is in the circuit. Assuming the ammeter is in series with the bulb and no other objects are attached, then the current is 0.4 Amps. Otherwise, your question is unanswerable without more information.

The rules of connecting voltmeter and ammeters in the circuit?
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
What will happen if the voltmeter was inserted in place of an ammeter?
You would load the circuit, and it is likely it would not operate correctly. A volt meter is designed to have a very high resistance between the two probes; an ammeter is designed to have a very low resistance. For instance, say you have a 120 watt light bulb that runs on 120 volts (you would then draw ~1 amp of current). If you tried to measure this with a meter that has .1 ohm resistance on ammeter setting, and 1,000,000 ohms on volt meter: Error due to loading: ammeter: .1 / (120 + .1) = .08%; Current will be .999Amps, power to the light bulb will be 119.9 watts Volt meter: 1,000,000/ (120 + 1,000,000) = 99.9%; current will be 120micro Amps, power to the light bulb will be 14.4 milliwatts (the light bulb will not appear to be on).
Where would you put an ammeter in a circuit?
in a series circuit or it will not work. Put it after the bulb
What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light a bulb?
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.

Symbols of the electric circuit?
there is a symbol of bulb,galvanometer,voltmeter,ammeter,gong,paperclip,switch,wire,solenoid,bulb and armature
What happens when bulb blows?
When a light bulb blows, it means the filament inside the bulb has broken due to wear and tear. This causes the electrical current to stop flowing, resulting in the bulb no longer emitting light. To fix this, you simply need to replace the blown bulb with a new one.
What would happen inside a light bulb if it was filled with air?
It would no longer work. Light bulbs are usually under vacuum and if air gets in the filament blows.
