wiring diagram of one bulb in two switches.. example, if switch a- on then switch b- off the bulb is on, switch a- off then switch b- on the bulb is on, switch a- on then switch b- on the bulb is off, switch a- off then switch b- off the bulb is off..

What will happen if the two switches connected to light up a single bulb are on?

It is dependant on whether the switches are in wired in a parallel or series configuration. If the switches are wires in parallel then both switches would have to be off to turn the light bulb off. Either switch could turn the light bulb on. If the switches are wired in series then both switches would have to be on to turn the light bulb on. Either switch could turn the light bulb off.


A light bulb is hanging in the first floor of the room There are three switches in the ground floor room One of these switches belongs to that light bulb The light bulb is not lit and the switches?

Turn on one of the switches and leave it on for a few minutes. Then turn it off and turn on another switch. Proceed upstairs and touch the light bulb. The bulb that is warm corresponds to the switch you turned on first, and the bulb that is off and not warm corresponds to the switch you turned on second.


When switches are connected in series mention whether the switches are dependent on each other to turn the lamp on?

When switches or any circuit opening devices are in series with each other, they all have to be in the closed position to energize the load.When switches or any circuit opening devices are in parallel with each other, any one of the switches or circuit opening devices in the closed position will energize the load.


What will happen if someone only connect one of the wires to the bulb holder?

If someone only connect one of the wires to the bulb holder, the circuit will be open and the lamp will not light. This is the same principal that a switch in the circuit does. It opens and closes the circuit.


Why are parallel Christmas lights better than series?

In a series circuit, if any one bulb goes open the rest of the lights will go out. The current flow in a series circuit is common throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit when one bulb goes open the rest remain on due to the configuration of a parallel 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.


Does siries circuit have to have two bulb?

You need at least two components in your circuit before you can tell whether it's a series circuit or a parallel one.


What is a circuit that lights up even if one bulb is out?

A parallel circuit lights up even when one bulb is out.

What do you need to complete before the current will flow?

A circuit must have three basic components to make electricity flow. 1. Source of power or electricity. 2. Wires, switches and conductors through which the current can flow. 3. And finally a load to complete the circuit.


Why the bulb is not lighting when one wire or terminal is not connected?

When one wire or terminal is not connected to a light bulb, it is not possible for electricity to complete the circuit. When a circuit is not completed, the bulb will not light. An off switch, for example, breaks the circuit.


In a series circuit if 1 bulb goes out the circuit is considered open or closed?

If one bulb in a series circuit goes out, then current can't flow anywherein the circuit. A circuit in which current can't flow is an open circuit.

What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light on bulb?

You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.


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.


When a bulb is to be operated from three places what are the switch requirements?

I think there are more than one solution but the one I understand is to provide two by two way switches linked with two strap wires. A cross over switch is also used at some third location to 'cut' the straps, linking A to B and B to A alternately dependant on switch position.The commons are connected to live or load. I always need to draw a diagram for each pathway just to make sure.Clarification:The above answer is (semi) correct. You need two three way switches at the ends of the circuit, and one (or more) four way switches in the middle. The three way switches select between A and B for power, and the four way switches flip A for B and B for A. You can use any number of four way switches, making this an N-Way circuit. The three way switches are SPDT, and the four way switches are DPDT with an internal cross-over.


What happens if one bulb in a series circuit burned out?

In a series circuit, all bulbs are necessary to complete the circuit. If one bulb goes out, the circuit is broken, so none of the bulbs would light up.
