The current at every point in the series circuit becomes slightly less, because

the increased length of wire adds slightly more resistance to the loop.

What happens to the total impedance of a series RC ciRCuit as the frequency is increased?

when the frequency is increased the total impedance of a series RC circuit is decrease.


What happens to a series circuit if a longer wire is used?

Resistance is increased so the light will be dimmer.


If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?

In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.


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.


Why does less current run through a circuit when there are more loads?

This happens only in pure series circuits, due to increased resistance.


What happens if there is a break in a series circuit?

The series circuit becomes an open circuit because there is no remaining path.


What happens if capacitance is increased in parallel RC ciRCuit and series RC ciRCuit?

In both cases, the time constant of the RC circuit is increased. If the application is a high- or low-pass circuit, then the filter cutoff frequency is decreased in both cases. If the application is a phase-shift network, then the frequency for a given phase- shift is reduced.
