The question is ambiguous, however one possibility is a parallel circuit, which would permit one light bulb to remain lit while the other light bulb was switched off. By contrast, if the light bulbs were connected in a series circuit, switching one light bulb off would cause both lights to go off.

That would be a parallel circuit.

Will a circuit with two light bulbs in series light up?

Yes, a circuit with two light bulbs connected in series can light up. Current flows through the first light bulb, then through the second, allowing both bulbs to illuminate. If one bulb burns out, however, both bulbs will go out.


Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?

Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.


Gene has a string of lights on a series circuit. What will occur if one of the light bulbs on the circuit burns out?

If one of the light bulbs in Gene's series circuit burns out, the entire circuit will break, causing all the lights to go out. This happens because, in a series circuit, the electrical current must flow through each component in sequence. When one bulb fails, it creates an open circuit, preventing electricity from reaching the remaining bulbs. To restore the lights, the burned-out bulb must be replaced or repaired.


What type of circuit is it called when light bulbs one after another are connected?

In series


When the two bulbs are in placewhat happens?

When two light bulbs are in place, there will be a circuit created where electricity can flow through both bulbs. If the circuit is intact and the bulbs are functioning, they will both light up. If one of the bulbs is faulty or the circuit is broken, then both bulbs may not light up.

When one light on a string of lights burns out and the entire string turn off this indicates to us that the lights are wired In a?

series circuit. In a series circuit, the current flows through each light bulb in sequence. If one bulb burns out, it breaks the circuit and all the bulbs after it will not receive power.


What happens to the voltages across the light bulbs in a parallel circuit change as more light bulbs are added to the circuit?

When one light bulb in a series circuit containing several light bulbs burns out?

then the other light bulbs in the circuit go out. However, in the case of modern Christmas tree lights in series, the bulbs are designed to short out when they blow, so that the other bulbs do not go out. They do get brighter, however, and this can lead to cascade failure, but that is why there is often a fuse in the plug.
