What happens when one bulb is added to a series circuit?

The resistance is increased, the voltage across each bulb is decreased and the current through the circuit is reduced.


What happens when an electric current encounters resistance?

An electron traveling through the wires and loads of the external circuit encounters resistance.


What happens with electric current when applying the same voltage the resistance of the circuit is reduced?

As the resistance is reduced across the same voltage, the current increases.


Why do you mean by short circuit?

A short circuit is a low resistance connection established by an accidental touching between a line supply and a grounded object in an electric circuit. The current will flow through the low resistance point, bypassing the rest of the circuit. When this happens the circuits over current device should open the circuit.


What happens in a series circuit if the resistance is halved?

If you add a second resistor, the resistance of series circuit will increase.


When a dead short occur what happens to circuit resistance?

The circuit resistance is likely to gradually drop and in such case it will cause the circuit to burn down.


When resistance is in a circuit what happens to the current?

When you add resistance to a circuit, current goes down. Ohm's Law: current = voltage divided by resistance.


What happens if you shorten the resistance wire in a circuit?

It shortens


What happens to the resistance of a filament if it is replaced by a thicker wire?

If a filament is replaced by a thicker wire, the resistance of the circuit will decrease. Thicker wires have lower resistance because they offer less resistance to the flow of electric current compared to thinner wires of the same material and length.


What happens the power consumption of a circuit as its resistance increases?

😉


What changes occur in the total resistance of a circuit as additional resistances are added in parallel?

The total resistance of the circuit increases. hence the new resistance after adding the resistance will be new resistance = old resistance + added Resistance There is a small mistake in the question. The second word is 'changes' not 'charges'


What happens to amps when you increase the resistance of a circuit?

When you increase the resistance in a circuit, the current (amps) in the circuit will decrease. This is because Ohm's Law states that current is inversely proportional to resistance, so as resistance increases, current decreases.
