What is the best way to ensure that a 40 watt bulb and a 60 watt bulb have the same voltage applied to them?
Light bulbs connected in parallel automatically have "the same voltage applied to them".
What makes a dc bulb different from an ac bulb?
The voltage source that is applied to them is the difference between AC and DC light bulbs.
Can 120v 20w bulb be used in low voltage 12 volt system?
No, it would glow very dimly or not at all. Bulbs must run at the voltage they were designed for.
What happens in a series circuit with three different watt bulb's which bulb will brighter?
The 2 bulb series circuit , a 3 bulb series circuit will increase resistance and therefore reduce the voltage across the bulb. The current in all points of the circuit will remain the same according to Kirchhoff.
How many lights can you hook up on a 600amp low voltage?
If the voltage is right for the bulbs, you can hook up 600 amps divded by the amps taken by one bulb - that gives the number of bulbs. But 600 amp needs very thick wire.
What is the reason for bulb becoming dim when connected in series?
the voltage across it is reduced, the voltage is shared with other bulbs
If you add an extra bulb to your series circuit what will happen to the brightness of the bulbs?
The bulb is dim.Because,the voltage is drops in series connection so you add more bulbs in series the last bulb got low voltage that reason for the bulb is dim
Can higher voltage burn the fluorescent bulbs?
it all depends on the voltage the light bulb can sustain.
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.
Why are two bulbs in parallel bright when you build a parallel circuit with two bulbs a one d- cell battery?
Two bulbs in parallel are brighter than the same two bulbs in series, given the same potential voltage, because there is twice the available voltage to each bulb.
Suppose in a circuit with 2 bulbs the resistance of bulb 1 is greater than that of bulb 2. how will the voltage across the two bulbs compare?
if the resistance of bulb A is 2x that of B then there will be twice as much voltage across it (ratio 2:1 ). both voltages shall equal the system voltage assuming they are in series and there are no other components in the circuit if the bulbs are in parallel the voltage across them will be equal and that of the system
How can you connect bulbs in series?
A Bulb can be connected in a series in such a way that the energy source which is applied want to flow equally across the bulbs connected in series. A Bulb has to knobes or holds in which we supply the power. Assume one knob as a positive voltage absorbing source and other has a negative voltage absorbing source. When we connected in such a way that we can apply the voltage continuously in which the bulb will blow easily. When two or more bulbs are connected in series like end of the knob of one bulb i.e., negative to the next positive of the next bulb in series and negative of second bulb to the positive of the third bulb. Then the voltage splits equally across the bulbs connected.
How does the type of circuit affect the brightness of two light bulbs?
This has to do with the potential difference(voltage) reaching each bulb.If the bulbs are placed in series, the voltage will be divided among them(for example, 9V battery powering two identical bulbs will result in each bulb getting 4.5V). Thus, they would each only be One fourth as bright than if there was a single bulb as the power is Voltage squared. If Voltage is halved then power goes one fourth.If the bulbs are placed in parallel, the current(amperage) is divided instead, resulting in each bulb getting the same voltage. This will result in both bulbs having brightness equal to a single bulb.
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 is a dimmer?
A dimmer reduces the voltage to a light so that the current is reduced, which causes the bulb to have a reduced lumen output.
What is the best way to ensure that a 40 watt bulb and a 60 watt bulb have the same voltage applied to them?
Light bulbs connected in parallel automatically have "the same voltage applied to them".
What makes a dc bulb different from an ac bulb?
The voltage source that is applied to them is the difference between AC and DC light bulbs.
