What type of circuit would be used in a battery operated torch?
Torch equals flashlight. Battery negative connected to case switched to bulbs outside. Positive connected to the lamps bottom. Called a series circuit.
Circuit in which all parts are connected one after another?
That is a series circuit. An example is old christmas tree bulbs where if one burned out they all went dark.
In a series circuit of three bulbs adding another one will?
Do nothing. But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.
How are the bulbs wires and battery connected?
The equipment is all connected in series with each other to make a complete electrical circuit.
When you remove a bulb from a three bulb circuit and the other two bulbs go off then the bulbs must have been connected in?
help :(
Suppose you have a number of light bulbs connected on a circuit with each bulb on a separate branch what happens if one of the bulbs burns off?
As they are connected in parallel (each has its own branch) the remaining bulbs keep shining exactly as they did before.
What would happen if one of a set of light bulbs burn out in a parallel circuit?
It depends on the circuit. If it is a constant-current circuit, any light bulbs connected in parallel with it will become brighter. If it is a constant-voltage circuit like a typical household circuit, nothing will happen. Any connected in series with it will go out.
Why should ammeter still be connected in a series despite the fact that the bulbs are already connected in parallel?
Because the ammeter connected in parallel will act as a short circuit.
Light bulb in parallel circuit brightness?
Two bulbs connected in parallel are brighter than two connected in series. The resistance of the circuit is lower, electrons can flow more easily.
How must a bulb be connected in a circuit?
It depends on the circuit design and ratings, and what you expect from the bulbs. Bulbs connected in series with each other will have the same amount of current flowing through each one, but possibly differing voltages dropped across them, depending on their ratings. Also, with bulbs connected in series, if any single bulb burns out, or is switched off, or is removed from its socket, then all of the bulbs in the series circuit go dark. Bulbs connected in parallel will have the same voltage across each one, but possibly differing currents through them, depending on their ratings. Always check what type of circuit is in use and what it is designed to do, and ensure the appropriate rating of lamps are used.
The voltage for 4 bulbs in a circuit?
The circuit voltage or the resistance of the individual bulb is needed to answer this question. Divide the total power (400 W) by the supply voltage.
What is the effect on total resistance of adding this third bulb?
If a fourth bulb were added in a similar way to the three existing bulbs, the resistance in the circuit would go up if the bulbs were series connected, and it would go down if the bulbs were parallel connected.
