When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called?

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.

After replacing the fuses bulbs and brake light switch the tail and brake lights work and then fuse blows 97 Chevy PU?
If memory serves me right, each tail light assembly has a printed circuit board that the bulbs plug into. That circuit board burns out. That part is available from the Chevy dealer.
What happens if one bulb burns out on a parallel circuit?
The remaining bulb will be brighter than it was when both bulbs were working - due to the increased voltage.
In a series circuit as more bulbs are added the bulbs get dimmer the electric current through each bulb?
By adding more light bulbs
What two circuits one series and one parallel use light bulbs to provide resistance. Both circuits have the same number of light bulbs?
Series circuit gives higher resistance compared to parallel circuit.
Example of parallel circuit?
All the light bulbs in your house are in parallel across the power line.All the devices plugged into a power strip are in parallel.Everything in your car that gets power from the 12V battery is in parallel.etc.
When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one light bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called a circuit?
That would be a parallel circuit.
When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one bulb burns out the rest stay lit it is called a circuit.?
That would be a parallel circuit.
Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?
Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.
What type of circuit is it called when light bulbs one after another are connected?
In series
What do light bulbs do in a circuit?
light up
What happens to the voltages across the light bulbs in a parallel circuit change as more light bulbs are added to the circuit?
nothing
When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one bulb burn out the rest stay lit it is called a circuit?
That would be a parallel 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.
Why do light bulbs burnout?
For incandescent lights, they operate with a superheated filament. The filament slowly burns away and eventually breaks, opening the electrical circuit.
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.
If you have three light bulbs on a circuit but all the bulbs have a different electrical path what kind of circuit do you have?
Parallel.
Quite often on a Christmas tree if one light bulb burns out none of the lights work until the defective bulb is replaced The reason for this is that the bulbs are connected?
Its because it is in a parallel circuit and the dead bulb stops the power from continuing on to the other bulbs on the circuit.
