Describe the energy transformations that take place when a battery is connected to a light bulb in a series circuit?

The battery connected to the bulb has the potential chemical energy in it when it is connected by means of wire to the bulb the chemical energy in the battery is converted to the electrical energy which flows through the wire to the bulb glows the bulb which is a form of light energy after some time the bulb starts emitting heat which is heat energy.


Suppose you have a number of light bulbs connected on a circuit with each bulb on a separate branch what happens if one of the bulbs burns off?

As they are connected in parallel (each has its own branch) the remaining bulbs keep shining exactly as they did before.


Is it burned-out or burnt-out light bulb?

bulb light burned out every 4 months.type of bulb is H7


What is the difference between led light and a normal light bulb?

a normal light bulb gives off more light


How will a single burned-out bulb affect the string of lights if each light is attached to its own wire?

When bulbs are connected in series to one another, a failure of one bulb will open the circuit and the remaining bulbs in the line will go out because they have no power. However, bulbs in the line preceding the failed bulb will continue to be lit because their source of power has not been interrupted. When bulbs are connected in parallel, a failure of one bulb will have no effect the remaining bulbs because the power is not routed through any single bulb alone.

What happen when 3 cells of 1.5V is connected to one end of wires then connected to small torch bulb?

Nothing, for electricity to flow there has to be a voltage difference, ie connected from one end of the cells to the bulb, AND from the other terminal of the bulb to the other end of the cells.


Can a tomato glow when connected to a light bulb?

no


Did the light bulb light up when the dry cells were connected in parallel?

If dry cells are connected in parallel, they will supply more current to the bulb, which will cause it to glow for a longer period of time, but at the same brightness as if only a single cell were used. When the cells are connected in series, the voltage is increased, which will cause the bulb to burn more brightly. If the voltage is increased past the safe point for the bulb, its life will be shortened and it may burn out rapidly. In series, the voltages add. In parallel, you essentially have a larger cell of the same type (cell as in battery of one).

What is the job of the cells and wires and bulb and switch in a torch?

Why the bulb is not lighting when one wire or terminal is not connected?

When one wire or terminal is not connected to a light bulb, it is not possible for electricity to complete the circuit. When a circuit is not completed, the bulb will not light. An off switch, for example, breaks the circuit.


What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light on bulb?

What has happened when a light bulb has burn out?

it simply means that a wire from the light bulb is joined or connected to the charged plates of the capacitor.resulting to discharged of the capacitor.
