A 40W bulb or a 60W bulb will glow more brighter if connected in series?

The 40-W lamp will be the brighter, because it has a greater resistance that the 60-W lamp and, therefore, will experience a greater voltage drop across its terminals. The closer the voltage drop is to the lamp's rated voltage, the brighter it will be.

Connected in series or parallel will each bulb glow brighter?
In parallel, each bulb will have full voltage applied across them. However, in series, the voltage across each bulb won't be the same as supply voltage. Thereby, bulbs connected in parallel will glow brighter.
Why does the glow of two lamps decrease when they are connected in series?
Because the total current is divided between the two components. For example, if the current was one amp, and you connected two bulbs in series, ech bulb would get half an amp of current. As brightness is proportional to current, this means they glow more dimly.
Are bulbs brighter in a series or parallel curcuit?
Batteries in series makes the voltage additive. If the bulb is only rated at a specific voltage and you double the voltage the bulb will glow brighter but its life span will be shortened. Batteries in parallel will keep the voltage at the same level as a single battery but the endurance drain of the batteries will be doubled. Example, if a battery is drained of power, with a bulb being left on continuously, in one hour then two batteries in parallel would allow the bulb to glow for two hours before the batteries were drained of power.
Which bulb will glow brighter two bulbs of rating 100w-220vand200w-220v are connected in a series to a supply of 22ov?
For a lamp to operate at its rated power, it must be subject to its rated voltage. The lower the voltage, the lower the resulting power. In fact, a small drop in voltage will cause substantial drop in power. Higher 'wattage' lamps have lower resistance values than lower 'wattage' lamps.So, if you put two lamps in series, the greater voltage drop will appear across the lamp with the greater resistance. In your example, that means the 100-W lamp will be subject to the greater voltage drop, and its loss of power will be less than that of the 200-W lamp. So the lower power lamp will be the brighter of the two.
Why we called zero bulb to zero volt bulb?
the zero bulb required less amount of electricty to glow the voltage of bulb is below 5 volt
Connected in series or parallel will each bulb glow brighter?
In parallel, each bulb will have full voltage applied across them. However, in series, the voltage across each bulb won't be the same as supply voltage. Thereby, bulbs connected in parallel will glow brighter.
Which bulb will glow at first when 3 bulbs are connected in series and switch is connected after 1 bulb?
All the three would glow at the same instant.
Three different bulbs are connected in series when switch is closed the last bulb does not glow why?
because the switch is closed
Can a tomato glow when connected to a light bulb?
no
What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light on bulb?
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
Why do two incandescent light bulbs glow with different intensities when connected in the same circuit?
When you are wiring two light bulbs in SERIES, you split the voltage to each light bulb in HALF, meaning that it will only glow half the brightness per bulb, but it will only draw the current of one bulb, meaning if the bulbs were connected to a battery, it would last longer to connect them together in series, rather than parallel.
Why does the glow of two lamps decrease when they are connected in series?
Because the total current is divided between the two components. For example, if the current was one amp, and you connected two bulbs in series, ech bulb would get half an amp of current. As brightness is proportional to current, this means they glow more dimly.
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.
What happens when a bulb ammeter battery and switch are put connected together?
the bulb will glow and ammeter will show the reading
Can you make a bulb glow more brightly by adding a second battery?
Yes, two batteries will make a light bulb brighter than one, provided that the batteries are placed in series. The brightness of the bulb is determined by the voltage, and placing two batteries in series rather than just using one increases the voltage.
If you have 2 5-watt bulbs connected in series and then in parallel which circuit arrangement will give you brighter bulbs?
It depends on the voltage rating of each lamp, and the value of the supply voltage. It's important to understand that a lamp will only operate at its rated power (therefore at its full brightness) when subject to its rated voltage.So, let's assume each lamp is rated at, say, 24 V.If connected in parallel across a 24-V supply, then they will both operate of full brightness.If connected in series across the same 24-V supply, then each lamp will be subject to half its rated voltage, and will be very dim.On the other hand, if connected in series across a 48-V supply, then they will each be subject to 24 V, and will both operate at full brightness.
