when two bulb are connected in series their will not be any change
ANSWER
What other bulbs? This question doesn't make sense.
Perhaps you are thinking of this: with two bulbs in series, each bulb only gets 1/2 of the energy (or voltage) that a battery makes available, so each bulb is much dimmer than just one bulb attached to the battery would be.

∙ 9y agoA standard candle shines one lux, or one lumen per square metre or 4pi nits, at the square root of one over 4pi metres. At the flame this is about 10 kiloluces. Incandescent bulbs usually shine between 100 and 600 kiloluces at their surface.

Most flashlights have series circuits true or false?
Yes. Most flashlights have a series circuit involving a battery, a switch, and a bulb. More complex variants might have two bulbs in parallel, two or more bulbs on two switches, etc. but the basic principle is a series circuit - turn the switch on and the bulb illuminates.
Will each of two bulbs connected in parallel be as bright as a single bulb connected to a cell?
The brightness of an incandescent light bulb depends on the voltage applied across its terminals. Connecting one, two, or five light bulbs of the same rating to a battery in parallel will provide the same brightness from each bulb.
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.
What are the largest selling types of memory integrated circuits?
The two largest selling types of memory integrated circuits are DRAMs and SRAMs.
In a series circuit how the total resistance of several bulbs compare to the individual resistances?
The greatest resistance is two bulbs in series. The equivalent resistance is series is R1+R2 while in parallel the resistance is R1R2/(R1 +R2). R1 +R2 is greater than R1R2/(R1+R2); e.g. if R1=R2 = R the series resistance is 2R and the parallel resistance is R/2.
How do you check the potential in 230V line by using two 40w bulbs and two 60 w bulbs?
Plug the bulbs in, one by one, and check to see if they have the correct brightness.
What two circuits one series and one parallel use light bulbs to provide resistance. Both circuits have the same number of light bulbs?
Series circuit gives higher resistance compared to parallel circuit.
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.
Why do your brake lights work but your tail lights don't on my 1995 Audi a4?
They are two seperate circuits. Check the fuses and the bulbs.
Why does your dashboard lights work but not your headlights?
The headlights could have bad bulbs or a bad fuse; the two sets of lights are on different circuits.
What causes one headlight to be brighter than the other?
it is possible that you have two different rated bulbs, check to see if they are the same bulbs. it may be that one of the bulbs is incorrectly fitted which would give a different beam pattern and brightness. check the earth for the two bulbs, if one is poor and gives a high resistance it will affect the brightness, or it may be that the dull bulb has come to the end of its useful life and requires replacement. hope this helps, robb Different intensity bulb or poor ground.
Suppose in a circuit with two bulbsthe resistance of bulb 1 is greater than that of bulb 2how will the voltage across the two bulbs compare?
That depends on whether the bulbs are wired in series or in parallel.
Light bulb in parallel circuit brightness?
Two bulbs connected in parallel are brighter than two connected in series. The resistance of the circuit is lower, electrons can flow more easily.
Will bulbs provide more brightness if they are connected in series?
No. Take, for example, two bulbs. One might produce 100 watts. Two in series to the same voltage source might produce about 25 watts1 each, with a total of 50 watts. There is less power, so there is less brightness. -------------------------------------------------------- 1Technically, they will be slightly more than 25 watts, because they will be running cooler, with slightly less resistance.
How does the type of circuit affect the brightness of two light bulbs?
This has to do with the potential difference(voltage) reaching each bulb.If the bulbs are placed in series, the voltage will be divided among them(for example, 9V battery powering two identical bulbs will result in each bulb getting 4.5V). Thus, they would each only be One fourth as bright than if there was a single bulb as the power is Voltage squared. If Voltage is halved then power goes one fourth.If the bulbs are placed in parallel, the current(amperage) is divided instead, resulting in each bulb getting the same voltage. This will result in both bulbs having brightness equal to a single bulb.
What will be the brightness of the third bulb when we attach one bulb to a parallel connection of two bulbs with same power?
since all the bulbs are connected in parallel the voltage supplied for all the bulbs are same......so third bulb also glows with the same brighteness......this is same as the tube lights connected in our house.............
If two bulbs in a series circuit are equally bright then they transfer energy at different rates?
Whether or not they're in series is an irrelevant detail. If the two bulbs are equally bright, it means that they're dissipating energy at the same rate. They can dissipate energy at the same or at different rates whether they're in series or parallel circuits. It only depends on the characteristics of the bulbs.
