on applying same power the one which glows brighter is the one connected in parallel connection.

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.
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
How do you check dc voltage... series or parallel?
If you are asking how a voltmeter should be connected in a circuit, then the answer is that it should be connected in parallel with the device across which you want to determine the voltage. This applies whether the circuit is d.c. or a.c.
What circiuts are found in your home and school series or parallel?
You're home/school outlets and lights are in parallel with each other. The fuses or breakers in your home / school are in series with these lights and outlets. Extentions cords / battery backups are in series with whatever is plugged into them.
Do lights get dimmer when they are placed in a series circuit or a parallel circuit?
um.. a switch is a part of a series circuit because parallel circuits don't have switches
How could you determine whether a string of lights is in series or parallel BEFORE you purchase?
if the lamps are standard edison or medium they may be parallel lamps smaller than your finger are series
What can you infer about whether or not your house lights are connected in series or parallel?
House lights are wired in parallel. If they were in series, when one burned out, all would. Christmas lights are wired in a combination of series and parallel - roughly 50 lights in each series string. that's why if one bulb burns out, a section of the lights goes out.
How you can quickly determine whether a string of lights is wired in series or parallel?
Remove a light bulb. If they all go out, it is series, if the all stay on, it is parallel.

Are Christmas tree lights parallel or series?
They are parallel, or at least you HOPE they are parallel.
Do you wire 12 volt down lights in series or parallel?
Parallel.
Are fluorescent lights on a parallel circuit or a series circuit?
series circuit
What is the difference between series and parallel Christmas lights?
With series Christmas lights, if one burns out, the whole string stops working. With parallel Christmas lights one light burning out only affects that light. This makes it much easier to replace burned out lights in the case of the parallel lights.
Why lights in classroom is connected in series or in parallel?
only two connections are possible.. parallel connection is always desired than series. .
What type of circuit will produce brighter lights is it series circular direct or parallel?
Parallel connections will draw more current than equivalent lights connected in series, so the parallel configuration will be brighter.
Are house circuits series or parallel?
Everything in a house is wired in parallel. If you had lights is series when one burns out they would all go out, much like cheap Christmas lights.
Are the lights in your school connected in series current or parallel current?
Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.
