It is unclear what type of circuit you are referring to, so I'll give both answers.

  • parallel, current increases until too many bulbs have been added, then circuit breaker pops and current drops to zero.
  • series, current decreases and all bulbs dim.

What happens to the total current provided by the battery as more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit?

The total current 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.


What happens to the current flowing in the ring main as more bulbs are turned on at night?

As more light bulbs are added in a series circuit, the effective resistance of the circuit increases. That causes the current leaving the source to decrease.


What happens when one or more light bulbs are added to the circuit?

A: If put in series current will decrease if put in parallel current will increase assuming the input voltage remains the same


In a series circuit as more bulbs are added the bulbs get dimmer the electric current through each bulb?

What happens to the current in a circuit when one bulb is replaced by two bulbs in series?

current in series always stays the same


What happens to the voltage as more bulbs are added in series?

The total voltage should not change in this case.


What happens to a parallel circuit if more bulbs are added?

Total power consumption increases with each bulb. The remaining bulbs continue to operate unchanged.


What happens to the voltage across the voltage source as more light bulbs are added in a series circuit?

Nothing.
