What happens in a series circuit with three different watt bulb's which bulb will brighter?

The 2 bulb series circuit , a 3 bulb series circuit will increase resistance and therefore reduce the voltage across the bulb. The current in all points of the circuit will remain the same according to Kirchhoff.

∙ 12y agoAssuming the bulbs and the battery are the same, two bulbs connected in series will glow less brightly than one bulb.
The two bulbs will split the voltage in half between them, making the total power, assuming constant resistance, one half. Since the bulbs have a positive temperature coefficient, the actual power will be slightly more than one half, between the two of them, or slightly more than one quarter each.

than it is when it's in series with the same component.

What happens if the switch is open in a parallel circuit?
It shouldn't. Your house wiring is a series- parallel circuit.
What type of circuit is one in which all loads are connected in a single loop-?
That is described as a circuit in series, as opposed to a circuit in parallel, in which there is more than one loop.
What are some different types of electrical circuits?
Some different types of circuits are:openclosedparallelseriesThere are two types of basic circuits, series and parallel.In series, current stays constant and voltage is divided amongst the resistors.In parallel the voltage stays constant, Every branch of the circuit gets the same voltage from the power supplier, but there is different current in every branch but current doesn't get lost. Current entering a junction(branches) must equal to current out of the junction. Iin =Iout.The third type could be the Series-Parallel Combination, which has some components wired in series and other components in parallel. Solving these circuits requires more complex analysis techniques. See related link.Another AnswerElectrical circuits are generally classified as being: (1) series, (2) parallel, (3) series-parallel, and (4) complex. The term, 'complex' is a category into which any circuit that doesn't fall into the first three categories, is placed.
What is a circuit that is wired in one direct pathway?
A series circuit/
Type of circuit that is used in house wiring?
Both series and parallel circuits are used What_types_of_circuits_are_used_in_homes. If the circuit is a dedicated circuit which means that there is only one device in the circuit, then it is a series circuit. All the rest will be classed as parallel circuits.
If both series and parallel circuits have 1 cell and 3 lamps, which type of circuit would be brighter?
Parallel circuit.
What happens if there is a break in a series circuit?
The series circuit becomes an open circuit because there is no remaining path.
What happens to current in a series circuit?
the current in series will be same..
What type of circuit will produce brighter lights is it series circular direct or parallel?
Parallel connections will draw more current than equivalent lights connected in series, so the parallel configuration will be brighter.
What happens in a series circuit if the resistance is halved?
If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.
What happens to the current in the series circuit?
current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit
What happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, if the current is broken the flow of all electricity stops.
Is a parallel circuit brighter than a series circuit?
Both are same. Only thing it depends upon the incoming voltage. In series ciruity if one bulb fails, the ciruit continuity breaks . In case of paraleel circuit even if one bulb fails the circuit continuity will not get affected
How are series parallel circuits different?
A series is an electric circuit with a single path.A parallel circuit is an electric circuit with multiple paths.
How is a parallel curcuit different from a series curcuit?
a parallel circuit is in lines and a series circuit is one circle
What happens in a series circuit if a light blows?
The circuit current is interrupted and all the lights will go out.
What happens when a light bulb is broken in a series circuit?
In that case, the entire circuit won't work.
