A Bulb can be connected in a series in such a way that the energy source which is applied want to flow equally across the bulbs connected in series.
A Bulb has to knobes or holds in which we supply the power.
Assume one knob as a positive voltage absorbing source and other has a negative voltage absorbing source. When we connected in such a way that we can apply the voltage continuously in which the bulb will blow easily. When two or more bulbs are connected in series like end of the knob of one bulb i.e., negative to the next positive of the next bulb in series and negative of second bulb to the positive of the third bulb. Then the voltage splits equally across the bulbs connected.

You are building a string of lights using several bulbs how is the brightness of the lights related to whether you connect the bulbs in series or in parallel?
Overall brightness (not individual bulbs' brightness) will increase when we connect them in parallel & it will decrease when we connect them in series.
6v 10W 3 bulbs i am going to connect in series what volt is required to operate this?

How to install the 4 incandescent lamp then the 2 bulb connected in series but the other 2 bulb connected in parallel?
Your description is very strange. I can't imagine an application where two bulbs are in series and two in parallel. However let's assume that each bulb has one white wire and one black wire. Take the two parallel bulbs and connect then across the supply by tying all blacks and all whites together with black and white from supply. Then for the two series bulbs connect black from one to white from other. Then take the remaining black and white wires and connect to the black and white wires for parallel bulbs respectively.
Which circuit would have the brightest light?
If you connect bulbs in parallel across a given voltage supply (eg household mains supply) then they will all draw their rated current and will glow at their rated brightness. If you connect the same bulbs in series then they will glow very much less brightly. This is because the resistance of a bulb's element is also related to the power dissipated in the element. A bulb's element is rated for operation at a particular voltage. You can certainly connect two 6v motorcycle bulbs in series, and connect them to a car battery at 12v, and the two bulbs will be just as bright as they were when individually operated from the motorcycle 6v batttery. However if you connect two 6v bulbs in parallel and then wire them to a 12v car battery they will only glow brighter for a fraction of a second and then ... pop. You will have overheated the elements beyond their designed power handling capability.
Will connecting more light bulbs in series make the bulbs dimmer?
yes
What could you do to a closed circuit consisting of 2 batteries and 2 light bulbs and a switch too increase the current?
The switch will not increase the current. The only thing that will increase the current is adding a larger load.Another AnswerTo maximize current flow in a circuit with 2 Flashlightbatteries, 2 Flashlight bulbs, and a switch, set aside the bulbs, put the batteries in series, connect the switch between the end poles of the battery set, and close the switch. The batteries will get hot and probably leak electrolyte, and be drained in seconds.If you want to maximize current through the circuit withthe bulbs in it, connect the bulbs in parallel to each other, and in series with the switch.
What are the uses of series connection?
Disadvantage of series connection: 1.If one point breaks in the series circuit, the total circuit will break. 2.suppose if you want to connect 3 bulbs rated 230v,5A in series then due to added up resistance less current flows and the bubs are dimmer
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 are two bulbs in a series dim?
I have an idea
What happens to the brightness of the other two when one of the bulbs burn out three identical bulbs are wired in series?
As a series circuit, as asked, all bulbs will go off because of that just one bulb.
How do you put bulbs into a circuit without dimming themg them?
You connect them in parallel.
In a series circuit as more bulbs are added the bulbs get dimmer the electric current through each bulb?
By adding more light bulbs
