If there are three bulbs in a curcuit will they all glow the same brightness or will one be brighter than other?

With the naked eye they will all come on at the same time. Think of Christmas tree lights do they all come on together. It probably could be measured with an oscilloscope but I don't know.
They will all come on at the same time.
Think of the electrons in the wire as a very tight chain connected to your car while you are being towed. When the chain moves, every link in the chain moves and the car moves as well. Therefore when one electron (link in the chain) moves in the wire, they all move. Meaning every light will come on at the same time.
There are exceptions to this rule, but it would take too long to explain.

Why one star may appear brighter than other star?
The brightness of a star depends on the star's temperature, size, and distance from Earth.Distance on which you can see the stars.
Why do some stars seem so brighter in the night sky than other stars?
Some are closer than others and some have more power and brightness.
Why are other stars not bright like the sun?
The other stars do not appear as bright as the sun because they are much farther away. Even the closest stars apart from the sun are hundreds of thousands of times farther away. In terms of actual brightness, some stars are brighter than the sun.
Why does Mars look brighter at some times of the year than at others?
Like the moon, all the planets get their apparent brightness by reflecting light towards us from the Sun. At some stages Mars is reflecting more light towards Earth, so it appears to be brighter. Also, sometimes it is closer than at other times, so it appears to reflect more light towards us.
Why is the sun brighter than all other stars?
The sun only appears brighter than other stars because it is much closer to us.
When loads are in series the brightness of the bulbs will?
at like 1minute after each other.
Is it true that when a round bulb and a long are connected in a parallel circuit the long bulb is brighter than the round bulb?
Bulbs that are connected in parallel would be the same brightness as a bulb on its own. If the bulbs were in series with other bulbs, then they would be dimmer. The voltage would drop across a series.
What causes one headlight to be brighter than the other?
it is possible that you have two different rated bulbs, check to see if they are the same bulbs. it may be that one of the bulbs is incorrectly fitted which would give a different beam pattern and brightness. check the earth for the two bulbs, if one is poor and gives a high resistance it will affect the brightness, or it may be that the dull bulb has come to the end of its useful life and requires replacement. hope this helps, robb Different intensity bulb or poor ground.
Why must astronmers figure out a star's distance to calculate it's actual brightness?
For the same real brightness, at a larger distance it would look less bright. On the other hand, you may have two stars that look like they are the same brightness, but one might be million times brighter (in real brightness) than the other - which would be compensated by the fact that the brighter star is a thousand times farther away.
What happens to the brightness of the lights when you decrease the number of light bulbs in a circuit?
The brightness of the lights may or may not change depending on the circuit in which they are wired. In a series circuit, all the bulbs (called lamps) will experience the same current flow. The same amount of current will be flowing through each one, and each one will be dropping some amount of voltage. If we remove some of the lamps and reconnect the circuit, the lamps will glow brighter because there is less total resistance in the circuit. The remaining lamps will end up dropping more voltage, and will glow brighter. In a parallel circuit, removing bulbs (or adding them) will not affect the operation of the other lamps in the circuit (providing the voltage source is adequate). We know that each of the lights in a household circuit is wired in parallel, and turning one or more on or off won't affect the operation (the brightness) of any other light that is on.
What happens to the brightness of the other two when one of the bulbs burn out three identical bulbs are wired in series?
As a series circuit, as asked, all bulbs will go off because of that just one bulb.
Out of the two bulbs in the house one glows brighter than the other which one of the two has a larger resistance?
2nd one...
Why is one brake light brighter than the other?
Most likely the brighter light is newer. The other light has worn out and is way older then the other. If this bothers you then replace both lights with two bulbs of the same brand and made in the same year.
Two light bulbs of resistance R1 and R2 R2R1 are connected in series Which is brighter?
The brightness of a light bulb is related to its power. In all electrical circuits, power is equal to Voltage*Current. Since the two bulbs are connected in series, they must have equal current. The voltage across any given element in a series circuit is proportional to its resistance, so whichever bulb has the higher resistance has a higher voltage and thus higher power and is brighter.
Why is my ipod touch less brighter than the others?
Your settings on your iPod Touch are set to a lower brightness than other iPod Touches. Go to Settings, and then General, and sift through there (usually under 'display') and you should find brightness, and you can adjust the brightness of your iPod touch from there.
Why one star may appear brighter than other star?
The brightness of a star depends on the star's temperature, size, and distance from Earth.Distance on which you can see the stars.
Why do some stars seem so brighter in the night sky than other stars?
Some are closer than others and some have more power and brightness.
