Answer to Question #319782 in Electric Circuits for dhea

Question

1. What happens if the filament of a single bulb fails (or if the bulb is

removed from its socket)? Why?

Answer 1

Answer in this case

One bulb burning out in a series circuit breaks the circuit. In parallel circuits, each light has its own circuit, so all but one light could be burned out, and the last one will still function.
