The switch will not increase the current. The only thing that will increase the current is adding a larger load.

To 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.
Put the batteries in parallel to lower the source voltage and the light bulbs in series to increase the load resistance. That will yield the lowest current draw but dimmest light also.
Current in a series circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Voltages are additive. Voltage in a parallel circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Currents are additive.
The total current in the circuit will decrease.
If you are referring to an electrical circuit, a series circuit is wired in such a way that if one object is removed from the circuit, the circuit is broken and everything within the circuit loses power. In a parallel circuit different components of the circuit can be removed without disabling power to the rest of the devices within the circuit.
The series circuit has one wire, while the parallel circuit has two wires. And if you connect the extra wire its dim because your taking away electrons and energy flowing through the main circuit -Hope this helped:D The difference is that series circuit has one path but parallel has more than one path. -hope this helped!:D ~Bunnii Boo
Something on that circuit is drawing more current than the wiring can safely handle.
it increases
If each battery is identical, yes.
To increase the current you either need to reduce the resistance of the load or increase the voltage. Typically a higher wattage light bulb will decrease resistance or you could put multiple batteries in series.
There will be no effect on the voltage. That is the effective voltage will be only 12 volt. But there will be increase of current.
Increasing voltage leads to an increase in the electric field strength, which in turn increases the kinetic energy of charged particles moving through the circuit. This higher kinetic energy results in an increase in the overall energy of the system.
Before we can attempt an answer to that question, we'll need to agree on themeaning of the fuzzy, slippery phrase "amount of electricity". I'm going to interpretthat phrase to mean the current through the circuit.If the batteries are connected in series, then more batteries produce more currentthrough the circuit.If the batteries are connected in parallel, then the number of them has no effecton the magnitude of current through the circuit. But whatever the current is, morebatteries will cause it to flow in the circuit for a longer time, before they run down.
Correct Answer= "the current will increase"
Short circuit current will increase a lot.
To increase (current) flow in a circuit you increase voltage (or decrease resistance). Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance
To increase the current you either need to reduce the resistance of the load or increase the voltage. Typically a higher wattage light bulb will decrease resistance or you could put multiple batteries in series.
it increases
the voltage and current doubles
