The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.

You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
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.
Simply connect the -ve of the bulb to -ve of the battery and +ve of bulb to +ve of battery using an electrically conductive wire, the bulb will light automatically.
You know if current is flowing in a bulb circuit because, if there is enough power (voltage times current), the bulb will illuminate. If there is current, but not enough power to illuminate the bulb, you will need to measure the current with an ammeter to see if there is any current.
For parallel circuit, there's bronchus which mean the electric current'd have to choose which path to go. There's a main loop and more than one bronchus.If the bulb in one of the bronchus break down,the other bulbs would still light up. For series circuit,there's only one path for the electric current to flow through.If one of the bulb breaks down,the other'd go out as well. The electric current of evbery bulb in a series circuit is the same while the electric current of bulb in parallel circuit are not the same. The sum of the bronchus in a parallel circuit is equal to the main loop's.The more bulbs in a path,the more resistance will there be and less brighter it will be.A larger current will flow through the path with lower resistance so te brightness of the bulb of the bronchus will hace differences asc well.
