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

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.
What would happen if a wire in a parallel circuit broke?
All of the current would travel down the remaining intact wire - possibly overheating.
Suppose if that houses 1 through 5 were connected by a series circuit. What would happen if one of the lines in the circuit was damaged?
Any gap in a series circuit causes the whole thing to stop working. That is why houses are wired in parallel with each other, and indeed there are many parallel circuits inside each house.
Why is a parallel circuit easier to repair than a series circuit?
A series circuit is like the old string of Christmas Tree lights. If any bulb burns out none of the others light because the circuit is now open. The same would happen if you used series wiring in a house. Another draw back is the number of devices in series governs how much voltage would be across each device.
What would happen if a battery is removed from a circuit?
It wil be on
What would happen if a lamp was unscrewed from a parallel circuit?
There will be no change, because it is a parallel circuit.

That would be a parallel circuit.

That would be a parallel circuit.
Would a bedroom be wired using a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
A parallel circuit
In a combination of a parallel and series circuit what would happen if a light bulb was unscrewed?
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.
Can each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors?
Yes, but then it would be a 'series-parallel' circuit, not a 'parallel' circuit!
What type of circuit would be used in lighting circuit?
A lighting circuit would be a parallel circuit.
A circuit with 4 parallel parts but only one serial part would be called a what kind of circuit?
parallel circuit

What circuit would you use if you were building a house?
A parallel circuit
Is series parallel the same as parallel?
No, series parallel, as it implies has components of the circuit configured in both series and parallel. This is typically done to achieve a desired resistance in the circuit. A parallel circuit is a circuit that only has the components hooked in parallel, which would result in a lower total resistance in the circuit than if the components were hooked up in a series parallel configuration.
