What if you have three identical bulbs that are set up in parallel . The total current in the circuit is 9.0A . What is the current through each bulb?
3 amps each
What do you think will determine the number of bulbs you can light up in a series circuit?
Assuming the bulbs are identical, the voltage drop across each one is inversely proportional to the number of bulbs. So, for example, 240V could power 20 12V bulbs in series. In addition, the circuit would have to be able to supply the necessary current.
What happens when you remove one bulb from a series circuit?
Answer: it will burn out **Explain:**The same current flows through each part of a series circuit. If the circuit is broken at any point there won't be any current that will flow. In this case, if one of the bulbs blew out, the other bulb would not be able to light up because the flow of electric current would have been interrupted. #Carryonlearning
Does the bulb light up in a parallel circuit?
The bulb will shine as long as it is still part of a complete circuit. You probably have a diagram for such a circuit. See if you can still trace a path through the battery and one of the bulbs without passing through the other bulb. For comparison, try the same thing with a diagram of a series circuit.
How are series circuit and parallel circuits?
For parallel circuit, there's bronchus which mean the electric current'd have to choose which path to go. There's a main loop and more than one bronchus.If the bulb in one of the bronchus break down,the other bulbs would still light up. For series circuit,there's only one path for the electric current to flow through.If one of the bulb breaks down,the other'd go out as well. The electric current of evbery bulb in a series circuit is the same while the electric current of bulb in parallel circuit are not the same. The sum of the bronchus in a parallel circuit is equal to the main loop's.The more bulbs in a path,the more resistance will there be and less brighter it will be.A larger current will flow through the path with lower resistance so te brightness of the bulb of the bronchus will hace differences asc well.
Can a series circuit work if the bulbs are differently lighted up?
The meaning of "differently lighted up" is very unclear. As long as all the bulbs in a series circuit are connected to the circuit, and all of the bulbs have good filaments with no holes in them, current will flow in the circuit. Depending on the ratings of each bulb, the current may not be enough to cause all of them to glow visibly, but there will certainly be a current. That may or may not suit your definition of "work".

What happens if one bulb in a series circuit burned out?
In a series circuit, all bulbs are necessary to complete the circuit. If one bulb goes out, the circuit is broken, so none of the bulbs would light up.
What is use of capacitor in electronics circuit?
to limit the current and to use it as a back up battery capacitors are used ..
Will the order in which you hook up the light bulbs in series affect the intensity of light each emits?
No... the order won't matter. Since the bulbs are hooked up in series, the total resistance across the circuit, regardless of the order, will remain the same. Therefore, the lights will have the same intensity regardless of the order. Also, by Kirchoff's Current Law, the signed sum of the currents entering a node is equal to zero. As a consequence, in a series circuit, the current at every point in that circuit is the same.
What would happen if one of a set of light bulbs burn out in a parallel circuit?
It depends on the circuit. If it is a constant-current circuit, any light bulbs connected in parallel with it will become brighter. If it is a constant-voltage circuit like a typical household circuit, nothing will happen. Any connected in series with it will go out.

How many linear ft of track lighting per 20 amp circuit?
You need to address this from the prospective of current draw per light. The length is not really the issue. Your continuous current should not exceed 80% of 20 amps, or 16 amps. Now if you were using certain halogen bulbs the current for each might be 1/2 amp each so you could have 32 such bulbs. Do a sample layout in what is called a reflected ceiling plan (Imagine the ceiling plan on the floor) and see how many lights of what current you plan to use and break up your circuit as needed.
In an electric current electricity flow how?
Electricity can flow in an electric circuit by a battery. The battery creates electrons, which flow through the wire, and then go into a light bulb. (That is how a light bulb in a circuit lights up.) A series circuit is a circuit with one wire that electrons can flow through. Also, there can be more than one light bulb connecting to the same wire. A parallel circuit is a circuit with light bulbs that have their own wire.ClarificationThe above answer, unfortunately, perpetuates the myth that current leaves a battery, and finds its way around a circuit. This is not the case at all. It is the load that 'draws' the current from the battery and it is the load that determines the size of that current.
