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.

If you have two 5 watt bulbs connected in series and then in parallel which circuit arrangement will give you brighter bulbs explain your answer?

Brighter in parallel. In series the voltage is divided between the two bulbs, thus the current will only be half so that the power of each bulb will only be one quarter (of 5 watts) in the series set-up.


What two circuits one series and one parallel use light bulbs to provide resistance. Both circuits have the same number of light bulbs?

Series circuit gives higher resistance compared to parallel circuit.


In a series circuit as more bulbs are added the bulbs get dimmer the electric current through each bulb?

By adding more light bulbs


What occurs to voltage in a series and parallel circuit?

In a DC parallel circuit, equal voltage is applied to each device that is connected in parallel. For example, if three devices are connected in parallel to a 9 volt battery, each device will have 9 volts applied to it. In a DC series circuit, the sum of the voltage drops across each device connected in series equals the source voltage. So say you have three devices connected in series, and they are connected across a 9 volt battery. Each device will have less than 9 volts across it, but if you add the voltage drops across each device togther, it will equal 9 volts. Batteries in series have an additive effect to the voltage. A single AA battery has 1.5V. Two in series will have 3.0V. Batteries in parallel do not experience an additive effect to voltage. To answer this question briefly there is a big difference. The major difference is the resistance the circuit offers when the same components are wired in series or parallel. I do not know how much you want to know, but resistance of a component is measured in Ohms. An easy way to think of ohms is how much force or energy is required to move an object. The less ohms a circuit has the more it can do with the same amount of energy, which in some cases can be a bad thing. To move on, lets say you have two light bulbs, to give a cliche example, and both are 2 ohm load. Now if you wired these two light bulbs in series, connect positive of one bulb to negative of the other and then the others to a battery, the bulbs would be half as bright as one bulb to the same battery. Yet if you wired these in parallel there brightness would be the same as if one light bulb was connected to the circuit. This is because the voltage in the parallel circuit doesn't decrease when you add a light bulb, whereas on the series circuit it does decrease. Hope that helps


When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called?

The question is ambiguous, however one possibility is a parallel circuit, which would permit one light bulb to remain lit while the other light bulb was switched off. By contrast, if the light bulbs were connected in a series circuit, switching one light bulb off would cause both lights to go off.

Are lamps in house connected to series or parallel?

They can be connected to either supply. A bulb in series that fails, will cause all the other bulbs to go out. A bulb in parallel that fails, will have no adverse effect on the other bulbs in that circuit


Why are two bulbs in a series dim?

Two bulbs in a series are dim because the resistance in the circuit increases when the bulbs are connected in series, dividing the voltage between them. This results in less power being supplied to each bulb, making them appear dimmer compared to when they are connected in parallel.


Why should ammeter still be connected in a series despite the fact that the bulbs are already connected in parallel?

Because the ammeter connected in parallel will act as a short circuit.


Circuit in which all parts are connected one after another?

That is a series circuit. An example is old christmas tree bulbs where if one burned out they all went dark.


Which bulb will glow at first when 3 bulbs are connected in series and switch is connected after 1 bulb?

The bulb that will glow first when 3 bulbs are connected in series and the switch is connected after 1 bulb is the second bulb in the series. The current flows through all the bulbs in a series circuit, but the second bulb experiences the full potential difference first as it is connected directly to the source.


What would you conculde if you saw if one bulb burned and all lights fail?

The bulbs are in connected series. There was a short circuit and the circuit breaker tripped.


What is a combination circuit?

It was mentioned that there are two different ways to connect two or more electrical devices together in a circuit. They can be connected by means of series connections or by means of parallel connections. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by series connections, then the circuit is referred to as a series circuit. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by parallel connections, then the circuit is referred to as a parallel circuit. A third type of circuit involves the dual use of series and parallel connections in a circuit; such circuits are referred to as compound circuits or combination circuits. The circuit depicted at the right is an example of the use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuitBy EngineerMuhammad Zaheer Meer GMS


Will a circuit with two light bulbs in series light up?

Yes, a circuit with two light bulbs connected in series can light up. Current flows through the first light bulb, then through the second, allowing both bulbs to illuminate. If one bulb burns out, however, both bulbs will go out.


When two light bulbs are connected in series the?

When two light bulbs are connected in series , there is voltage drop which causes the second lamp to dimAnswerWhen two lamps are connected in series, neither lamp will be subject to its rated voltage and, so, each lamp will be dim. Surprisingly, perhaps, the lamp with the higher power will be dimmer than the lamp with the lower power!
