An electric lamp has a resistance of 534 ohms when connected to a 230v supply the current flowing would be?

I = E/R


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.


Would the amount of light increase decrease or remain the same when lamp is placed across a 120 V dc power line?

When a lamp is connected to a power supply the total amount of light increases.


How does the number of bulbs affect the amount of electrisaty in a circuit?

Adding additional lamps has no effect on the supply voltage supplied to you home. If the lamps are connected in series, then the sum of voltage-drops appearing across each lamp will equal the supply voltage. If the lamps are connected in parallel, then the voltage across each lamp will equal the supply voltage.


What happens to the voltage of a series circuit as you add bulbs to the circuit?

For any lamp to operate at its rated power, it must be subject to its rated voltage. If you connect, say, three identical 120-V rated lamps across a 120-V supply, then each lamp will be subject to one-third of its rated voltage. As a result each lamp will not be able to achieve its rated power. If the lamps have different power ratings, then it is rather more complicated, with the most powerful lamp becoming the dimmest while the least powerful lamp becoming the brightest.

What happens to a voltage as the Christmas lights are connected in series?

Divide the number of lamps into the value of the supply voltage, and that will tell you the voltage drop appearing across each lamp. Bear in mind that if one of the lamps should be removed, the full supply voltage will then appear across the empty lamp holder.


Will a 240 volt lamp work in a 110 volt supply if the supply fuse size were increased?

No. The 240V lamp will pop the circuit or fuse because the draw is higher than the supply.

What happens to the current in a circuit if more lights are added?

Assuming you are referring to house lamps, these are always connected in parallel with each other. Each lamp will draw a current, the value of which depends on the wattage of the lamps. As each lamp is added, the supply current will increase by the amount of current drawn by that lamp.
