What would happen if you added another battery to a simple circuit of two wires a battery and a bulb?

SERIES: A. If the additional battery is added to the circuit in a "Series Aiding" configuration, the bulb would get brighter. However, it would probably burn out very shortly, if not immediately, depending on the power rating of the bulb. Flashlight batteries such as two and three cell flashlights are usually series aiding. B. If the additional battery is added to the circuit in a "Series Opposing" configuration, the intensity of the bulb would decrease or go out completely if the opposing voltages are equal. (you can do a little experiment with a three or four cell flashlight by reversing the polarity of one or more of the batteries. The reversed battery will be series opposing and cancel 1.5 volts of the other batteries.) PARALLEL: If batteries are added to the circuit in parallel, the intensity of the bulb would remain the same but the batteries would last longer. Be sure the battery voltages are the same when adding batteries in parallel.

∙ 13y agoThe brightness of a bulb would not change if you added a second bulb in parallel with the first.
Unless, of course, the increased current exceeded the power supply's capacity causing a reduction in voltage.

Does anything happen to the brightness of the bulb when you add an extra battery to a simple circuit?
We did this experiment in class, the more batteries added, the brighter the bulb will become!
In a simple circuit is a battery in series or parallel with the resistor?
In series.
What are 3 electrical components used in a simple circuit?
A battery, a light bulb and a switch
What materials are conductors in a torch?
The conducting path of a torch is a simple circuit: Battery to switch, switch to bulb, bulb back to battery. Provided the switch is on, and there are no breaks in the circuit wiring (and the bulb is good), the torch should work.
What is a simple circuit?
A simple circuit is a circuit containing one voltage or current source in series with, or in parallel with, one load.Since it is a simple circuit, both definitions, series and parallel, are equivalent and mean the same thing.well ist a circut that only has one wire and if one power outlet goes out so do the rest and as you can read i can't really find out i was tring to find out and thats not simple because im a 10 year old in 5th grade! (advanced 5th grade)

Where does the elecricity in a simple circuit come from?
Either a battery or a generator
In a simple circuit is a battery in series or parallel with the resistor?
In series.
What OF parts of circuit?
Simple parts of a circuit are switches, light bulb, battery and connecting wires.
What does a battery snap do?
A battery snap in electronics is what you connect a battery to. The battery snap then sends the electricity in the battery to the rest of the circuit. It's that simple.
Does a battery operated toy have a parallel circuit?
Yes, a battery operated toy has a parallel circuit - the battery is in parallel with the toy. In fact, this is true for any system where there is a single equivalent source and a single equivalent load. While it is true that this is also a series circuit, by Kirchoff's current and voltage laws a simple series circuit is also a simple parallel circuit.
What are some materials used to test a simple circuit for conductors and insulators?
Battery,Tester
What are 3 electrical components used in a simple circuit?
A battery, a light bulb and a switch
What has a simple circuit?
A simple electrical circuit consist in a source of power (like a battery), a conductor (like a wire), and a load (like a light bulb, a motor, a resistor, etc)
What is a simple circuit with one or two inputs and one output?
The following are definitely examples of a simple circuit:-A resistor hooked across a battery-A lit bulbThe following might be examples of a simple circuit:-A Logic gate has one or more inputs and one or more outputs but is not necessarily a simple circuit within the chip containing it.
Name three electrical components used in simple circuit?
bulb, Motor, buzzer, battery
How do you built a very simple circuit?
wire a resistor across a battery. that is about as simple as it gets. the resistor could be an incandescent light bulb.
