The bulbs get progressively darker. Electricity is the flow of electrons and the potential difference caused by these electrons powers the bulbs. The first bulb will get the most amount as the electrons flow past, then the 2nd will less and so on for any other bulbs in the series.

In a parallel circuit with three bulbs?
All of the bulbs will become dimmer as more bulbs are added.
In a series circuit of three bulbs adding another one will?
Do nothing. But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.
Why in houses if one bulb is fused the rest of the bulbs continue to glow?
If a circuit is wired in parallel, all the bulbs have their own independent access to electricity, so if one bulb goes out, the others are not affected. If the circuit is wired in series, then one bulb going out will block the current to all the other bulbs as well.
What is a parralell curcuit?
• In a parallel circuit, there are junctions in the circuit so the current can flow around the circuit in more than one way. • In a series circuit the current decreases as more bulbs are added. •In a parallel circuit, as more bulbs are added, the current increases. • This is because bulbs added in parallel offer less resistance
How will a single burned-out bulb affect the string of lights if each light is attached to its own wire?
When bulbs are connected in series to one another, a failure of one bulb will open the circuit and the remaining bulbs in the line will go out because they have no power. However, bulbs in the line preceding the failed bulb will continue to be lit because their source of power has not been interrupted. When bulbs are connected in parallel, a failure of one bulb will have no effect the remaining bulbs because the power is not routed through any single bulb alone.
In a series circuit as more bulbs are added the bulbs get dimmer the electric current through each bulb?
By adding more light bulbs
In a series circuit when adding light bulbs does the current change?
Yes. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance. I = V / R where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance. Adding light bulbs adds resistance. Current is constant throughout a series circuit; it doesn't change no matter what. Voltage changes.
How does increasing the number of cells in a parallel circuit affect the current?
by adding resistance in parallel more current is bound to flow
In a parallel circuit with three bulbs?
All of the bulbs will become dimmer as more bulbs are added.
How is the current affected by the number of bulbs?
As the number of bulbs in a series circuit increases, the current decreases. As the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increases, the current increases.
What will happen to the total current if you keep adding bulbs in parallel to the circuit?
Adding more lamps in parallel (across) a line will cause total current to climb. It will keep climbing (increasing) until a load protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) breaks the circuit or until something fails because of excessive current.
How does the number of bulbs affect the amount of electrisaty in a circuit?
Adding additional lamps has no effect on the supply voltage supplied to you home. If the lamps are connected in series, then the sum of voltage-drops appearing across each lamp will equal the supply voltage. If the lamps are connected in parallel, then the voltage across each lamp will equal the supply voltage.
Compare the current in a 2 light bulbs wired in a series circuit?
Since the SAME electrons have to go through both light bulbs, the current in both light bulbs will be the same (Kirchhoff's current law).
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.
In a series circuit of three bulbs adding another one will?
Do nothing. But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.
How does adding more cells in series affect the current?
Ohm's law (V = I*R) dictates that if voltage is increased, current must increase proportionately if the resistance stays the same.
Does current transfer energy provided by bulbs?
No. Bulbs use energy, they don't provide it.
