Suppose you have a number of light bulbs connected on a circuit with each bulb on a separate branch what happens if one of the bulbs burns off?

As they are connected in parallel (each has its own branch) the remaining bulbs keep shining exactly as they did before.

What happens when you disconnect a light bulb from a series cicuit?
Dear Wiki Questioner, When you disconnect a light bulb from a series circuit, the entire circuit is broken and no electricity can flow around it... so everything else on the circuit looses access to the power source! You can think of a series circuit as a relay race, where the runners are the bulbs and wires (and anything else that is connected to the circuit). If any one of the runners in a relay race is taken out of the race (say by a sprained ankle), the relay gets stuck and the team cannot complete the race (that is to say, the electricity cannot make a complete circuit). Of course, if you plug that runner back into the system, the race continues as usual!

What happens if a thermistor is heated?
the thermistors respond negatively to the temperature and their resistance decreases with the increase in temperature. Since the resistance of thermistors is dependent on the temperature, they can be connected in the electrical circuit to measure the temperature of the body.

What happens to the compass needle when the circuit is shut off?
Yes it will show .It is because if electric current is passed through the wires then it will become an electromagnet and show magnetic properties.But there should be a circular coil in the circuit then only that part will show magnetic properties.
What happens when you hook up the bulbs in parallel?
If you have a 3 bulbs in parallel lets say. If one of those burns out it just means that there is now an open circuit where the burned out bulb used to be. The two that remain aren't aware that anything has changed.
What happens when the parts of the circuit are properly connected?
oppen circuit
What happens to supply voltage if additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit?
No change in supply voltage as additional resistance is connected in parallel circuit.
What happens in a parralell circuit when one light bulb goes out?
The other components are still connected to the circuit
What happens if you move a switch and the circuit wires are not all connected?
When a switch is open (wires not connected) it is considered off. When a switch is closed it is considered on. If you move a switch and the wires are not connected the the circuit is open and current cannot run throughout the circuit to power the device.
What happens when more than one resistor is connected to a circuit?
the current flowing in will be low
What happens when a battery is hooked up to an open circuit?
nothings because they is no wire connected to the circuit so no current can flow through
If an insulator with a lamp is connected in a electrical circuit The switch is turned-on What happens?
Please re define "If an insulator with a lamp"
What happens to the power output of each lamp if more lamps are connected in parallel?
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
What happens when a curcuit is closed?
To close a circuit in electrical terminology is to close any open devices that are in series with a connected load. Once this happens the current will flow through the load and the load is then termed as energised. In the case of a motor circuit the motor will operate. In the case of a lighting circuit the lamps in the circuit will energise and light the area in which they are installed.
What happens to the coil of wire when someone presses the switch?
If the coil is connected to a circuit and the switch is closed then, provided there is a power source, the coil will become energized.
What happens when one light bulb burns out in a series circuit?
All of the light bulbs in the series circuit would go out.
What happens if dc supply is connected to incomer of transformer?
If a DC supply is connected to the incomer of a transformer, you effectively have a short circuit, because the DC impedance of a transformer (actually, any inductor) is quite low. You will blow something.
