You break the circuit and they both extinguish (go out).

Answer: The circuit will open up causing the current to quit flowing to both bulbs therefore there will be no lighted bulbs

You also have the full supply voltage appearing across the empty lampholder!

If you remove one of two bulbs connected to a circuit in a series will the other bulb still shine?

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.


What happens when a bulb gets fused?

When a bulb fuses the circuit is broken if it is on a serial circuit. If the bulb is on a parallel circuit, only the fused bulb will go out, any other bulb would remain lit. On a serial circuit, until the bulb is replaced by a new one, the circuit is not able to be used.


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.


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 happens to a bulb when you move it to the battery on a circuit?

It doesn't matter where the bulb is in respect to the battery, as long as the circuit is complete, the bulb will light up.

If you unscrewed the second bulb in the parallel circuit when it was on what happens to the first?

Nothing. That's why it's a parallel circuit. If it was a series circuit, then the first bulb would go out.


If you unscrewed the second bulb in the series circuit when it was on explain what happens to the first?

Unscrewing any bulb in a series circuit turns them all off. This is the same as opening the switch that controls them.


What happens when you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?

When you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit, the circuit will break and all the other light bulbs in the circuit will turn off. This is because in a series circuit, the current flows through each component in succession, so removing one component interrupts the flow of current to the rest of the circuit.


In which circuit did screwing out one bulb not influence the lighting of the other bulb?

A parallel circuit will not effect the other bulb. If the bulbs are in a series circuit the other bulb will not turn on.


Why did the other bulb go out also when you unscrewed the circuit?

Without seeing the circuit involved no real answer can be given. I would guess you have a diagram of the circuit, tracing it out should answer your question.


If a light bulb is missing in a series circuit will the bulb light?

If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.


If you unscrew the second bulb in a series circuit while the batteries are in a parallel circuit what happens?

The first lamp will go out. ANSWER: any lamps in series the first or the last if unscrewed will cause all lamps to extinguish no matter whether the source potential is in series or parallel


If a light bulb is missing or broken in a series circuitwill the other bulb light?

In a series circuit, if a light bulb is missing or broken, the circuit becomes incomplete, and the electrical current cannot flow. As a result, the other bulbs in the series will not light up. All components in a series circuit must be functioning for the entire circuit to operate.


What happens when a light bulb is unscrewed in a series circuit?

All other light bulbs will turn off due to the series circuit being broken. The electrons cannot travel all the way through, hence the current will also not flow in the circuit, switching off all the other bulbs too.CommentIt's worth pointing out that the full supply voltage will then appear across the lamp holder -so take care!


If the filament of the bulb is broken would the circuit be complete?

If the bulb's filament is broken, the whole circuit becomes open. If the bulb is in a series circuit or is the only bulb, the electricity would no longer flow. If the bulb is in a parallel circuit, along with other bulbs, then only the blown bulb would go out, and the other bulbs would still work.


What happens if you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?

If you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit, it will cause an open circuit, which will break the flow of current in the circuit. As a result, all other bulbs in the series circuit will also turn off because there is no longer a complete path for the electricity to flow.


Is it safe to leave a light bulb partially unscrewed?

It would not be dangerous to leave a light bulb partially unscrewed, however, there is some possibility that it will fall out of the socket. I would advise that if you don't want the bulb to be on, and you don't have a light switch, unscrew the bulb completely and put it away until you need it.
