The other light bulb still continues to shine if one light bulb is taken out of a parallel circuit. In a series circuit if one light bulb is removed the other light bulb goes black. This happens because the circuit is incomplete.

When removing a bulb in a parallel circuit, the other bulbs will continue to receive the same amount of voltage and brightness, as each bulb has its own separate path to the power source. This is in contrast to series circuits, where removing a bulb would break the circuit and cause all bulbs to turn off.
It will have absolutely no effect on the operation of the rest of the circuit. However, the supply current will reduce by the amount of current that was drawn by that lamp prior to it being disconnected.
If there are two or more light bulbs connected in parallel and energized (turned on),
and you remove one of them from its socket, then the one you remove goes out,
i.e. it ceases to glow, and it cools. That should be the only noticeable result.
Any other light bulbs on the parallel circuit will remain lit. On a serial circuit all light bulbs will go out, as removing the bulb has opened the circuit.
THE REMAINING BULB WILL STAY LIT BECAUSE CURRENT DOES NOT FLOW IN ONE PATH OR DIRECTION .
Taking a light bulb from a parallel circuit would not significantly affect the energy transfer in the circuit. Each component in a parallel circuit receives the full voltage of the circuit, so removing a single light bulb would not substantially affect the flow of energy to the other components. The overall energy flow in the circuit would continue, with the remaining components receiving their appropriate voltage.
If one bulb burns out in a series circuit, the other bulb will also turn off since there is no longer a complete path for the current to flow. In a parallel circuit, the other bulb will continue to function normally as each bulb has its own separate path for the current to flow.
In a parallel circuit, each light bulb has its own separate path for the current to flow, so removing one light bulb does not interrupt the current to the other light bulbs. The remaining light bulbs will continue to work because the circuit is not broken.
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.
In a parallel circuit, each bulb receives the full voltage of the power source, so all bulbs shine at their full brightness. In a series circuit, the brightness of each bulb decreases as more bulbs are added because the voltage is shared among all bulbs.
