What happens to the current if the number of bulbs stays the same but you use more cells?
If you add more cells in series with the bulbs, the current will increase as the voltage across the bulbs increases. If you add more cells in parallel with the bulbs, the current will stay the same because the voltage of the cells does not increase when they are added in parallel.
What happens to the current through a series circuit as more resistors are added in series?
If the bulbs are in a series circuit the voltage drops at each bulb drops as additional bulbs are added. In a parallel circuit the voltage is constant no matter how many bulbs are added.
In a series circuit when adding light bulbs does the current change?
Yes. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance. I = V / R where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance. Adding light bulbs adds resistance. Current is constant throughout a series circuit; it doesn't change no matter what. Voltage changes.
Is it true that when a round bulb and a long are connected in a parallel circuit the long bulb is brighter than the round bulb?
Bulbs that are connected in parallel would be the same brightness as a bulb on its own. If the bulbs were in series with other bulbs, then they would be dimmer. The voltage would drop across a series.
When two light bulbs are connected in series the?
When two light bulbs are connected in series , there is voltage drop which causes the second lamp to dimAnswerWhen two lamps are connected in series, neither lamp will be subject to its rated voltage and, so, each lamp will be dim. Surprisingly, perhaps, the lamp with the higher power will be dimmer than the lamp with the lower power!
What happens to the voltage across the voltage source as more light bulbs are added in a series circuit?
Nothing.
What happens to the current if the number of bulbs stays the same but you use more cells?
If you add more cells in series with the bulbs, the current will increase as the voltage across the bulbs increases. If you add more cells in parallel with the bulbs, the current will stay the same because the voltage of the cells does not increase when they are added in parallel.
What happens when one or more light bulbs are added to the circuit?
A: If put in series current will decrease if put in parallel current will increase assuming the input voltage remains the same
In a parallel circuit with three bulbs?
All of the bulbs will become dimmer as more bulbs are added.
How does the voltage measured across a dry cell ompare with the voltage drop measured across three bulbs in series?
How does the voltage measured across a dry cell ompare with the voltage drop measured across three bulbs in series?
Why bulbs connected inparallel?
all the bulbs must in parallel because all must get the same voltage.......in parallel voltage is constant.if they are connected in series they will not get same voltage
If you add an extra bulb to your series circuit what will happen to the brightness of the bulbs?
The bulb is dim.Because,the voltage is drops in series connection so you add more bulbs in series the last bulb got low voltage that reason for the bulb is dim
What is the reason for bulb becoming dim when connected in series?
the voltage across it is reduced, the voltage is shared with other bulbs
What happens to the current through a series circuit as more resistors are added in series?
If the bulbs are in a series circuit the voltage drops at each bulb drops as additional bulbs are added. In a parallel circuit the voltage is constant no matter how many bulbs are added.
Why do bulbs get dimmer in series circuits?
When light bulbs are connected in series circuits, they will get dimmer whenever a bulb is added. This is because the current is shared between all of the bulbs equally.AnswerLamps only operate at their rated power when subjected to their rated voltage. If you connect lamps in series, each lamp will be subject to a lower voltage, so they will not operate at their rated power and, so, will be dimmer. The more powerful lamps will actually glow less than the less-powerful lamps because their resistance is lower and the voltage drop across them will also be lower than the voltage drop across the less powerful lamps.
What is the voltage rating when a string of A Christmas bulbs in series draws Ampere when connected to a volt source?
If the bulbs are wired in series, the voltage rating for each bulb is the source voltage divided by the number of bulbs in the series. You can tell if they're wired in series by removing a bulb. If all of the other lights go out, you have a series circuit. If all of the other bulbs stay lit, you have a parallel circuit. If half of the lights go out and the other half stay lit, you have two series circuits in parallel. The source voltage is about 110 volts in North America or about 220 volts in Europe (I don't know about Asia or Australia). If you have a series/ parallel mix, count only the bulbs that go out with the one you removed. For example, if you have 50 lights in one series in North America, the voltage across each bulb is about 2.2 volts.
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
