Do accidentals carry through bars?

An accidental carries through the bar affecting both the note it immediately precedes and any following notes on the same line or space in the measure. Accidentals are not repeated on tied notes unless the tie goes from line to line or page to page.

Does an accidental apply to the whole bar?

The accidental will apply to following notes in the same measure / bar but not after that. If it is needed to cancel the effect before then another accidental (maybe a natural sign) will be required. Oddly, although a sharp or flat in the key signature affects the same note in other octaves, an accidental does not.

Is an accidental canceled at the bar line?

the accidental applies only to the note on the line or in the space in which it appears. the accidental is cancelled by the bar line or by another accidental.

Does an accidental carry through a measure?

Like a flat or a sharp, it remains in effect for the entire measure. Any accidental will always carry through the rest of the measure. The only time when an accidental can affect more than one measure is if it is determined by the key signature.
