In a parallel circuit nothing would happen. All the other light bulbs would remain on since there is an alternative path for current to flow. In a series circuit the entire circuit would be de-energized and all the bulbs would go out.
Hmm. well, it's a series circuit, so I would think they would potentially follow after the one that went out, right?? Yeah, for sure!
In a parallel circuit, if one component gets removed from the circuit, the rest of the components remain undisturbed. If a light bulb burns out in a series circuit, the rest of the components in that circuit will go out with it. But if it were in a parallel circuit, only the light bulb would go out.
A parallel circuit
All the bulbs will go out. In a series circuit, the current at all points is the same. This is Kirchoff's Current Law. If you loosen or remove a bulb in a series circuit, the current at that bulb becomes zero, and by Kirchoff's Current Law, the current in every part of the circuit also becomes zero.
In a series circuit, if another bulb is added, it is going to dim.
Nothing would "happen" to them, but they would glow less brightly.
In a parallel circuit nothing would happen. All the other light bulbs would remain on since there is an alternative path for current to flow. In a series circuit the entire circuit would be de-energized and all the bulbs would go out.
It depends on the circuit. If it is a constant-current circuit, any light bulbs connected in parallel with it will become brighter. If it is a constant-voltage circuit like a typical household circuit, nothing will happen. Any connected in series with it will go out.

the connection in a series circuit would be a most it can be given in safety places
If a wire on a series circuit is disconnected, both lights will go out. In a series circuit, current flows through each component in sequence, so if the circuit is broken by disconnecting a wire, the current cannot flow through either light.
In a parallel circuit, if one component gets removed from the circuit, the rest of the components remain undisturbed. If a light bulb burns out in a series circuit, the rest of the components in that circuit will go out with it. But if it were in a parallel circuit, only the light bulb would go out.
That is described as a circuit in series, as opposed to a circuit in parallel, in which there is more than one loop.

An ammeter is always connected in series in the circuit.
