Bulbs are things that are plugged into light sockets, and they light up when the electricity is turned on.
The power rating for a light bulb (like "40 W") tells how much electrical power the light bulb uses. All of the power used by the bulb is either converted into light or heat. In an incandescent bulb, most of the energy becomes heat. In a fluorescent bulb, more of it becomes light.
Do you mean why is the voltage in a circuit lower after the light bulb than before it? If so, it's because the light bulb filament has electrical resistance. When an electrical current flows through a resistance, there is a voltage drop across the resistance (Ohm's law).More fundamentally, the light bulb is producing light, which is a form of energy. The voltage drop across the light bulb comes from the fact that electrical energy is being turned into light. If voltage didn't drop, you would be producing energy from nothing. Furthermore, if there were no voltage drop, your circuit would behave the same whether you had no light bulbs, one light bulb, or eighteen million light bulbs - something that clearly can't be the case.
The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.
Most likely a bad bulb, corroded socket or worn/shorted wires. Could be the brake switch too. I'd check in that order. If it ends up being a blown bulb, see sources and related links below for bulb information.
Parallel circuits are used when there are many electronics on the same circuit, such as Christmas lights, for example. If they were on a series circuit, if one bulb went out all of them would go out. In your home, parallel circuits allow you to turn any electrical device on or off, independently of the others.
Light bulb provide electrical light.
It decreases
A light bulb is an electric light that uses the process of a filament wire that is heated to produce an electrical current. When the electrical current passing throught the light bulb it produces light.
Too much current for the rating of the bulb.
To replace the headlight bulb on a 1996 Nissan Almera you should first unplug the electrical connector to the bulb. Turn the bulb counter clockwise to remove it. Place the new bulb in and turn it clockwise. Reconnect the electrical connector.

The job of a bulb is to convert electrical energy into light energy, a by product is heat energy.
