No it's series circuit.
Do nothing. But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.
um.. a switch is a part of a series circuit because parallel circuits don't have switches
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
To wire dimmer switches in a home electrical system, first turn off the power to the circuit. Remove the existing switch and connect the dimmer switch wires to the corresponding wires in the wall box. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for specific wiring details. Secure the dimmer switch in place and restore power to the circuit to test the dimmer function.
In a series circuit, adding more bulbs increases the total resistance, which causes the overall current to decrease. As a result, each bulb receives less voltage and therefore becomes dimmer. Thus, the bulbs will be dimmer when more bulbs are added in a series circuit.
If a component of a parallel circuit fails, there are complete pathways for electricity to allow the remaining components to carry on functioning. ( For instance if the living room light bulb fails, the kitchen light can still work.) Also, if you link several bulbs in series, the current through them drops and they are dimmer than one on its own, but this doesn't happen with a parallel circuit.
Parallel circuit lights are built as so: ______light_______ |_____light_______| |_____battery_____| Series circuit lights are built like this: ___light___light___battery___ |________________________| In a parallel circuit, lights don't get dimmer when you add more, and if one breaks, the others still work. In a series circuit, when you add more, the lights get dimmer, and when one breaks, they all break. It is possible to have a combination of both in one circuit though.
Bulbs in a parallel circuit draw the same amount of current, so each will display the same brightness. Bulbs in a series circuit share the current so all bulbs will appear dimmer.
To install a 3-way dimmer switch in a home electrical system, first turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Remove the existing switch and disconnect the wires. Connect the wires to the new dimmer switch according to the manufacturer's instructions, making sure to match the wire colors. Install the dimmer switch into the electrical box and secure it in place. Turn the power back on and test the dimmer switch to ensure it is working properly.
To properly wire a Leviton dimmer switch, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the black wire from the dimmer to the hot wire in the electrical box, the green wire to the ground wire, and the red and white wires to the remaining wires in the box. Secure the connections with wire nuts and install the dimmer switch into the electrical box. Turn the power back on and test the dimmer switch to ensure it is working correctly.
To properly wire a Lutron dimmer switch, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the black wire from the dimmer to the hot wire in the electrical box, the green wire to the ground wire, and the red and white wires to the remaining wires in the box. Secure the connections with wire nuts and install the dimmer switch into the electrical box. Turn the power back on and test the dimmer switch to ensure it is working correctly.
