What happens to a light bulb when extra dry cells are added on a series circuit?

i think that the light bulb glows brighter

∙ 12y agoWell, i have a little knowledge in electricity so I'll share with you the little that i know and i hope it will answer your question.
When another light bulb is added to a circuit, the electricity is shared throughout the circuit and therefore both the light bulbs will light up. There will be little or no impact to the first light bulb. That is both for an open or a closed circuit. If though, the one light bulb is removed from an OPEN circuit, the other WILL turn off. if it is a closed circuit, meaning it looks like two circuit put together, if one is removed - the other will stay on.
I sure hope this is right and answers your question.
If anyone has an addition or correction to this answer, write it down really.

∙ 13y agoAdding more (properly polarized) batteries in series with a bulb will create an increased voltage across the bulb. More current will flow, and the lamp will glow more brightly (unless the voltage exceeds the rating of the lamp, and it burns out).

When two cells with the same voltage are connected in a series circuit what happens to the voltage?
There is addition of voltage. Dry cells have 1.5 volts irrespective of there size. if the cells are added as same polarity in series it will add if are parallel then voltage remains same
What happens to the ammeter reading when a lamp is added to a circuit which contains two cells and a lamp in series?
Assuming the new lamp is in series, the ammeter reading falls because the total resistance has increased. By how much depends on how the lamp resistance depends on voltage. If the lamp is added in parallel to the first, then the ammeter reading doubles.
What will happen if more bulbs are added to a circuit with one cell?
YESAnswerNot necessarily. The current depends on the potential difference and the load resistance. If you connect cells in parallel, you do not effect its voltage or the load, so the current is unaffected (although the battery's current 'capacity' will increase). If you connect the cells in series, then you will increase the voltage and the current will increase.
Three electric cells each have a voltage of 1.3Vwhat is the total voltage of the three cells if the cells are connected in parallel?
voltage is still 1.3V in parallel circuit, voltage stays the same but current adds up in series circuit, voltage adds up but current stays the same
When is it usually desirable to connect cells in series?
In electronics circuits current is common in series circuits and voltage is common across parallel circuits. LEDs in series draw less current, but require more voltage. Total power remains the same until multiple drivers are introduced in a parallel configuration.

What happened to the reading of ammeter and voltmeter if the number of dry cells are added in the circuit?
Assuming you add more cells in series, the voltage will increase. If you don't change the resistance of the circuit, this in turn will also increase the current.

What happens if you add more cells to a circuit?
If the cells are added in series, then the terminal voltage will increase, as would the internal resistance. If they are added in parallel, then the voltage would remain the same as for one cell, but the internal resistance would fall, and the available charge (in ampere hours) would increase.
What will happen if more bulbs are added to a circuit with one cell?
YESAnswerNot necessarily. The current depends on the potential difference and the load resistance. If you connect cells in parallel, you do not effect its voltage or the load, so the current is unaffected (although the battery's current 'capacity' will increase). If you connect the cells in series, then you will increase the voltage and the current will increase.
In what circuit are the cells wired up inside the car battery?
They are wired in series.
How many miliamperes are produced when 4 D cells are in series circuit?
The current in the circuit is(6,000)/(the resistance connected between the terminals of the D cells, in ohms)milliamperes
What happened to the voltage in the circuit as more dry cells were connected in the series?
The voltage increases in this case.
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.
If 3 1.5 V cells were connected in series what would the total voltage of the circuit be What about in Parallel?
4.5 volts in series; 1.5 volts in parallel.
What are the significance of connecting dry cells in series-parallel?
it explodes if two a series batterys connected in parrallel to another forth circuit , this may result in you changing your pants...

voltage is still 1.3V in parallel circuit, voltage stays the same but current adds up in series circuit, voltage adds up but current stays the same
