Adding bulbs will not make the first bulb shine more brightly. Using Ohm's law, E = I x R , increasing the voltage will increase the current and the bulb will burn brighter. Of course, increasing the voltage will also burn out the bulb sooner. Also, if you add bulbs to a parallel circuit, the voltage will drop marginally, causing the first bulb to shine slightly more dimly! The voltage will not drop in a parallel circuit it remains the same. If this were true then every time you switched on a light in your house that was on the same circuit, you would see the other lights dim as the voltage dropped. I have never seen this phenomena happen as long as I have been in the trade. Since the input voltage is set to a specific value it was a hypothetical answer "Not more bulbs- only higher voltage or lower filament resistance will make the bulb shine brighter. I said 'drop marginally'. In a well specified system, the voltage drop will not be noticable but it does happen. Try switching on a kettle or big heater in the same circuit as a desk lamp, you will see the lamp dim slightly.

Are hyacinth bulbs perennial bulbs?
Hyacinth bulbs are perennial bulbs. Don't destroy the leaves because the hyacinth needs the leaves to refuel the bulb to make next year's flowers.
What main parts are to make a psychrometer?
The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.
How do you ignite a 400w electronic metal halide or high pressure sodium bulb?
You need the appropriate ballast for either of these bulbs to make them light.
Do you use hair to make a light bulb?
No, hair is not used to make a light bulb. Light bulbs are typically made of glass or other transparent materials, with a filament made of tungsten or other metals that produce light when heated. Hair is not a suitable material for this purpose.
Which glows more brighter a 100 w bulb or a 75 w bulb explain?
A 100 watt bulb will normally glow brighter than a 50 watt bulb as long as you are comparing similar style bulbs. You have to compare Incandescents to Incandescents, Fluorescent to Fluorescent, LED to LED, and so forth. You also have to make sure your bulbs are similar in light patterns since you can have general dispersion lighting, spot lighting, flood lighting, and so forth. So, once again as long as you are comparing like style bulbs, yes a 100 watt bulb is brighter than a 50 watt bulb.
How can you make bulbs shine brighter?
Rub it with a peice of clothAnswerJust turn up the shine volume...you didn't know that?
Do plants from bulbs make seeds?
No, the bulb is the "Seed"
What kind of battery makes a bulb shine brighter?
Usually a higher voltage will make a light bulb shine brighter; but if the voltage is too high, this can also destroy the light bulb.
How do you make a bulb shine brighter?
Wipe it with cloth I guess?
How would you make a bulb in a circuit shine with a fainter light?
If you add resistance to the circuit the bulb will shine with a fainter light ... the higher the resistance is the fainter it will shine
How does cotton help make a light bulb?
Cotton is not used in light bulbs.
Are hyacinth bulbs perennial bulbs?
Hyacinth bulbs are perennial bulbs. Don't destroy the leaves because the hyacinth needs the leaves to refuel the bulb to make next year's flowers.

How does the brightness of the bulbs in the two circuits compare?
ANSWERwhen two bulb are connected in series their will not be any changeANSWERWhat other bulbs? This question doesn't make sense.Perhaps you are thinking of this: with two bulbs in series, each bulb only gets 1/2 of the energy (or voltage) that a battery makes available, so each bulb is much dimmer than just one bulb attached to the battery would be.
How does a three bulb circuit compare with the current when two bulbs are bypassed by a short circuit?
The current of one bulb (two bulbs shorted) would be about1 three times the current of three bulbs.1 I say "about" because resistance is a function of temperature, and running three times the current through one bulb will make that one bulb much hotter, increasing its resistance. It might also burn out the bulb.
What main parts are to make a psychrometer?
The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.
How to change the headlight bulbs in your 2005 ford escape?
To change headlight bulbs in a 2005 Ford Escape, first make sure the light switch is in off position and replace the passenger light bulb. Next, get to the driver's side bulb, remove the battery by holding it down, to be able to change the headlight bulb.
