Why in houses if one bulb is fused the rest of the bulbs continue to glow?
If a circuit is wired in parallel, all the bulbs have their own independent access to electricity, so if one bulb goes out, the others are not affected. If the circuit is wired in series, then one bulb going out will block the current to all the other bulbs as well.
In a parallel circuit with three bulbs?
All of the bulbs will become dimmer as more bulbs are added.
In a series circuit of three bulbs adding another one will?
Do nothing. But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.
How will a single burned-out bulb affect the string of lights if each light is attached to its own wire?
When bulbs are connected in series to one another, a failure of one bulb will open the circuit and the remaining bulbs in the line will go out because they have no power. However, bulbs in the line preceding the failed bulb will continue to be lit because their source of power has not been interrupted. When bulbs are connected in parallel, a failure of one bulb will have no effect the remaining bulbs because the power is not routed through any single bulb alone.
Suppose you have a number of light bulbs connected on a circuit with each bulb on a separate branch what happens if one of the bulbs burns off?
As they are connected in parallel (each has its own branch) the remaining bulbs keep shining exactly as they did before.
What happened when you loosened one of the bulbs?
Loosening one bulb in a series circuit will break the circuit and cause all the bulbs to turn off. In a parallel circuit, loosening one bulb will not affect the other bulbs, and they will remain lit.
If you have 3 light bulbs explain how you can determine they are connected in parallel circuits by unscrewing one bulb?
Unscrewing any light bulb in series will result in the others turning off. If they are in parallel, unscrewing one will have no effect. For example, say we have lights bulbs L1, L2, and L3, where L1 and L2 are in parallel and L3 is in series with L1 and L2. If L1 is unscrewed: L2 and L3 will stay lit. If L2 is unscrewed: L1 and L3 will stay lit. If L3 is unscrewed: L1 and L2 will turn off.
Why does only half the strand of Christmas lights work?
Probably because you brought them cheap or the bulbs are broken.
When one bulb is unscrewed in a series circuit does the other bulb stay lit?
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 bulbsCommentYou also have the full supply voltage appearing across the empty lampholder!
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.
What happens to the bulbs in parallel circuit if one of the bulbs buns out?
The other bulb remain to glow with same intensity.
What happens to the brightness of the other two when one of the bulbs burn out three identical bulbs are wired in series?
As a series circuit, as asked, all bulbs will go off because of that just one bulb.
Why the other bulb remains lighted when you unscrewed one of them?
I wasn't there, didn't observe the experiment, and haven't had the opportunity to inspect the schematic diagram or review the circuit configuration. But if I had to guess ... which I obviously do ... it would be my guess that EITHER each bulb has its own individual battery or power supply, OR that both bulbs share the same power supply and are connected to it in parallel.
Why some bulbs are transparent while other are not?
to control the light intensity. The transparent bulbs are more intensive than the non-transparent one.
What makes fluorescent bulbs different from other bulbs?
Fluorescent bulbs are different from other bulbs in that they use less energy, which makes them cheaper to use, while they're lighting up a much larger area. However one must be careful as they break easily, and the powder inside is harmful when breathed in.
Are Incandescent bulbs going to be outlawed?
There is nothing that states incandescent light bulbs will one day be illegal or outlawed. Using them is an individuals option and right.
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.
