it doesn't, in a parallel circult the volage stays the same therefore the brightness will stay the same

∙ 12y agoit gets dimmer because of adding or dubling the rasistance......thus current decreases and so dissipated power in the bulb decreases........
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoMore current is drawn from the supply, the voltage across the circuit will remain the same.

What is a combination circuit?
It was mentioned that there are two different ways to connect two or more electrical devices together in a circuit. They can be connected by means of series connections or by means of parallel connections. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by series connections, then the circuit is referred to as a series circuit. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by parallel connections, then the circuit is referred to as a parallel circuit. A third type of circuit involves the dual use of series and parallel connections in a circuit; such circuits are referred to as compound circuits or combination circuits. The circuit depicted at the right is an example of the use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuitBy EngineerMuhammad Zaheer Meer GMS
Is a light bulb a series or parallel circuit?
Lights at home are connected in parallel. (Switches are connected in series with the lights in order to turn them on and off.) This way, each light receives the same voltage. Placing the lights in series would divide the voltage between the lights, reducing the power of each, and it would have the effect that one light burning out would cause all the others on the same circuit to stop working.
Do modern homes use electricity that is arranged in series or in parallel circuits?
In a modern home you use parallel circuit's. The reason why they are parallel circuit and not series is For example: say your kitchen light goes off, if that light goes off the others in your house won't. They also use parallel circuit in schools. However, when there is a switch in the circuit, that switch is in series with the load, so you could say that electrical wiring is arranged in series-parallel.
The electric bulb in your household circuits are connected in parallel what happens to the line current and line voltage as you turn on more light bulbs?
The line current increases when more bulbs are switched on in parallel, since more parallel current paths results in lower effective resistance. The line voltage should not change in response to any normal use of electric power in a single house.
How would you identify a defective light bulb if 15 bulbs are connected in parallel?
it will be the one that is dark
What happens to the voltages across the light bulbs in a parallel circuit change as more light bulbs are added to the circuit?
nothing
Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?
Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.
Is a series or parallel circuit used for filament light bulbs?
parallel
If you have 3 light bulbs on a single circuit what kind of circuit do you have?
Parallel
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.
What is the effect if a bulb is broken in a parallel or series circuit?
parallel circuit: Providing that the breakage does not result in a short circuit the other bulbs will still light. series circuit: If the breakage results in a short circuit through the bulb the other bulbs will light more brightly. If the breakage results in a breakage of the connection through the bulb then the other bulbs will not light.
Will adding light bulbs to a parallel circuit causes all of the light bukbs to shine less brightly?
No. In a parallel circuit, the resistance gets cut in half, so logically the bulbs would do the opposite and get brighter.
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.
What is the use of parallel circuit?
It is very beneficial to have a parallel circuit... for example: 1. If one light in a parallel circuit goes out, the other light bulbs will remain lit Whereas if a light in a series circuit goes out, all bulbs will go out 2. If not all light bulbs are needed on, you can turn them off with the remaining light bulbs staying on
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.
What happens when removing a bulb in a parallel circuit?
The other light bulb still continues to shine if one light bulb is taken out of a parallel circuit. In a series circuit if one light bulb is removed the other light bulb goes black. This happens because the circuit is incomplete.
What happens if you add 2 light bulbs to a simple circuit?
A: There is no such a thing as simple circuit if the bulbs are put in series the light will dim if put in parallel both bulbs will light up the same provided the source can sustain the power increase
