A W bulb and a W bulb are connected in series in a circuit Which bulb has the greater current flowing in it?

A series circuit is where there is only one path for the current. As a result, and as a direct consequence of Kirchoff's current law, the current at every point in a series circuit is the same. The two bulbs have the same current flowing through them.

How does current flows when inductor n capacitor r in series?
The stronger the magnetic field on your inductor the greater amount of current you will have flowing through your series circuit.
In any parallel circuit within a combination circuit the greater current will flow through the?
lowest resistance
What is the current running through a 90 volt circuit?
It depends on the resistance of everything connected between the terminals of the power supply. If the resistance is infinite or very high, there is little or no current. As the resistance becomes less, the current becomes greater. In general, the current through a circuit with 90 volts applied to it is [ 90 / R ], where 'R' is the resistance of everything across the 90-volt power supply.
When a series circuit comprising of a resistor and a capacitor is connected to an AC supply the current will?
. . convert electrical energy into heat. Electric charge flowing down a potential gradient, as it does in a resistor, is the condition identified by Poynting's theorem for energy to leave the electromagnetic field.
What is different Circuit Breker And Isolater?
I think that the questioner is asking what is the difference between an isolator and a circuit breaker.A circuit breaker is a switching device designed to interrupt a fault current.An isolator is not intended to break a live circuit but, rather, to provide a visible separation between a circuit component and live conductors.For example, isolators (or 'disconnectors' in US parlance) are located on either side of a high-voltage circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker requires maintenance, then the procedure is to:a. trip the circuit breaker.b. open the isolators on each side of the circuit breaker, so there is a visible gap between the circuit breaker and the 'hot' conductors.c. apply temporary earths (grounds) between each isolator and the circuit breaker.d. complete a 'permit to work' card.e. begin work.
How does current flows when inductor n capacitor r in series?
The stronger the magnetic field on your inductor the greater amount of current you will have flowing through your series circuit.
What happens to a fuse when the flow of charges stop?
Current i.e.rate of flow of charge when stops flowing in a circuit then fuse does not blows out. The only work of fuse is to blow away when the current starts flowing greater in magnitude than the rated current value.
Will the current in a light bulb connected to a 200-v source be greater or less than when the same bulb is connected to a 110-v circuit?
It will be greater:current = voltage / resistanceSince the bulb's resistance doesn't change, then current is a direct function of voltage.
What has the greater current in the diodes bridge rectifier circuit or full-wave rectifier circuit?
They both have the same current.
In any parallel circuit within a combination circuit the greater current will flow through the?
lowest resistance
Is electrical current greater before or after light bulb?
Electrical current is equal throughout a series circuit.
What happen to the current when the voltage is greater than or equal to 6 volts?
The current is greater than or equal to (6) divided by (the effective resistance of the circuit).
What is the current running through a 90 volt circuit?
It depends on the resistance of everything connected between the terminals of the power supply. If the resistance is infinite or very high, there is little or no current. As the resistance becomes less, the current becomes greater. In general, the current through a circuit with 90 volts applied to it is [ 90 / R ], where 'R' is the resistance of everything across the 90-volt power supply.
What happens in a circuit when the resistance gets greater?
Flow of current decreases proportionately.
How much current flows through circuit breaker trip coil?
The trip coil has the whole circuit load amperage flowing through it. Thepurpose of the breaker is to only allow current up to its trip point. That is the only way that the breaker can sense if the current is within the limit rating. If the circuit load amperage becomes greater that the breaker rating it will trip. The trip coil that you refer to is a magnetic trip which senses the magnetic field that surrounds the wire. Breakers also have a thermal trip which senses a heat build up on the current flowing through it. If the breaker is in a high ambient temperature it will lower the rating on the breaker.
What gets used up in an electric circuit current or energy?
One of Kierchieff's laws tell us that the more wattage (energy) consumed by an electrical device in a circuit, the larger the voltage difference that exists across the device and the greater the current flowing through it. The energy consumed is directly proportional to the Impedance of the electrical device but is more importantly proportional to the square of the current. WATTS=VOLTS X AMPERES= RESISTANCE (IMPEDANCE) X AMPERES X AMPERES A Circuit with Current but without resistance would exhibit no energy at all.
When a series circuit comprising of a resistor and a capacitor is connected to an AC supply the current will?
. . convert electrical energy into heat. Electric charge flowing down a potential gradient, as it does in a resistor, is the condition identified by Poynting's theorem for energy to leave the electromagnetic field.
