How would you compare the brightness of the bulbs as you increase the number of bulbs?

-- If the bulbs are in parallel, then the addition of a bulb has no effect
on the brightness of those that were there before.
-- If the bulbs are in series, then the addition of a bulb causes the brightness
of those that were there before to decrease.
(And I wasn't even there when you did the experiment !)

How does the brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit compare to the brightness of the bulb in a series circuit?
u see the light bulbs on a series circuit's brightness evolves and the brightness on a parallel's circuit dont
What do you notice about the brightness of the bulbs in the parallel curcuits as you add more bulbs to it?
Nothing if the current capacity of the circuit is not exceeded. The extra bulb will draw more current and if the limit is not reached all bulbs will continue at their rated brightness. If the current capacity is overrdrawn either the circuit breakeer will break and stop all lights or if the capacity is not fused all lights will dim.
What happens to the current if the number of bulbs stays the same but you use more cells?
If you add more cells in series with the bulbs, the current will increase as the voltage across the bulbs increases. If you add more cells in parallel with the bulbs, the current will stay the same because the voltage of the cells does not increase when they are added in parallel.
Is it true that when a round bulb and a long are connected in a parallel circuit the long bulb is brighter than the round bulb?
Bulbs that are connected in parallel would be the same brightness as a bulb on its own. If the bulbs were in series with other bulbs, then they would be dimmer. The voltage would drop across a series.
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).
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.

Would the brightness of a parallel circuit of 3 globes increase or decrease when a fourth is added?
The brightness would remain constant but the power draw will increase. If the circuit was series wired, the brightness would go down as you added bulbs.
How are light bulbs efficiency increased?
The brightness of a standard bulb is directly proportional to the amount of voltage drop across the bulb itself. Thus, to increase the brightness :-Pass more current across the bulb by reducing the resistance of the circuitIncrease the voltage across the bulb, or the circuit. Change the supply.
How to compare the brightness of the old light bulbs to the new energy effiecint bulbs?
Use a phone app like light meter which uses the camera to give a luminosity level.
Does amperage increase as the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increase?
Yes.
What happens to the current in the other lights if one light burns out in a series circuit?
It depends what is the outcome of burning. If that light has created open circuit, circuit will break and there will not be any current. But if there is short circuit means overall resistance is decreased. Thus current will increase. Besides overall brightness will also increase. Thus, if in a series lesser the number of bulbs more will be brightness.
How are light bulbs measured?
Brightness of a light bulb depends on the power, current, resistance and size of the filament. Lumens is the unit of measurement for the brightness of a bulb. A bulb has more brightness if there is more power and current. Greater the resistance, less is the brightness.
How do you convert a German 220 volt chandelier to USA 110 volt?
If you want mood lighting just connect it as is, the brightness of the bulbs will be half. If you want full brightness change the bulbs to 120 volt with bulbs of the same wattage as the 220 volt bulbs.
How does the amount of magents and wire affect the brightness of a light bulb?
The brightness of a light bulb directly has no direct relationship with magnets and wire. The bulbs brightness is determined by the wattage of the bulb. The higher the wattage of the bulb the brighter the bulbs light output.
When three bulbs connected to a battery in parallel circuit what will happen to the brightness of the bulbs?
The brightness of three bulb would be mare than one
