If all three bulbs are in parallel, then there are three current pathways.

What is the effect if a bulb is broken in a parallel or series circuit?
parallel circuit: Providing that the breakage does not result in a short circuit the other bulbs will still light. series circuit: If the breakage results in a short circuit through the bulb the other bulbs will light more brightly. If the breakage results in a breakage of the connection through the bulb then the other bulbs will not light.
How does the brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit compare to the brightness of the bulb in a series circuit?
u see the light bulbs on a series circuit's brightness evolves and the brightness on a parallel's circuit dont
Does a flashlight use parallel circuit or series circuit?
Well it can depend on how many bulbs it has etc, but generally it would be a series circuit.
Light bulb in parallel circuit brightness?
Two bulbs connected in parallel are brighter than two connected in series. The resistance of the circuit is lower, electrons can flow more easily.
In a parallel circuit how is the brightness of the light bulbs?
the bulbs would be very bright seeing as the two or more light bulbs have very easy excusable paths for electricity to flow and get to the light bulbAnswerBecause the voltage across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same, each lamp will be subject to its rated voltage and, therefore, will operate at its rated power output.
How must a circuit created so that the rest of the bulbs stay lit if one goes out?
It should be a parallel circuit. That way, if one bulb fails - there will still me electrical pathways to the other bulbs.
Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?
Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.
Is a series or parallel circuit used for filament light bulbs?
parallel
If you have three light bulbs on a circuit but all the bulbs have a different electrical path what kind of circuit do you have?
Parallel.
Which type of circuit will still bulbs if one is burnt out?
Parallel circuit
If you have 3 light bulbs on a single circuit what kind of circuit do you have?
Parallel
In a series circuit of three bulbs adding another one will?
Do nothing. But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.
What is the advantage of using a parallel circuit as opposed to a series circuit?
If a component of a parallel circuit fails, there are complete pathways for electricity to allow the remaining components to carry on functioning. ( For instance if the living room light bulb fails, the kitchen light can still work.) Also, if you link several bulbs in series, the current through them drops and they are dimmer than one on its own, but this doesn't happen with a parallel circuit.
What happens to the voltages across the light bulbs in a parallel circuit change as more light bulbs are added to the circuit?
nothing
How is the current affected by the number of bulbs?
As the number of bulbs in a series circuit increases, the current decreases. As the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increases, the current increases.
What is a complex circuit where some of the bulbs can work while others don't work?
A parallel circuit.
What is an electric current flowing in only one direction?
In a series circuit, then yes, there is only one pathway. For example: if one bulb fuses, all the bulbs in the serial circuit will go out. But there are more pathways in a parallel circuit. For example: if one bulb fuses, all the other bulbs in the parallel circuit will still light.
