Will each of two bulbs connected in parallel be as bright as a single bulb connected to a cell?

The brightness of an incandescent light bulb depends on the voltage applied across its terminals. Connecting one, two, or five light bulbs of the same rating to a battery in parallel will provide the same brightness from each bulb.

∙ 11y agoThe voltage will stay the same. The resistance decreases. The current will increase as the resistance decreases.
Take the resistance of a bulb as 2 ohms
Take the voltage as 120V
If there are 5 bulbs,
(1/2 x 5) inverse the whole equation= 2/5
If 2 more bulbs are added,
(1/2 x 7) inverse the whole equation= 2/7
You can see that the resistance once 2 more bulbs are added is lesser.
Thus using V=I x R,
120V/(2/5)=300I (the circuit with 5 bulbs)
120V/(2/7)=420I (the circuit once 2 more bulbs are added.)
You can see that the current once 2 more bulbs are added is greater than the circuit with 5 bulbs.
Hope this helped ^^

∙ 14y agoYes they all are the same brightness because they are all connected to one battery or power supply, they are all sharing the same voltage aswell.

without degradation of its output voltage.

Are lamps in house connected to series or parallel?
They can be connected to either supply. A bulb in series that fails, will cause all the other bulbs to go out. A bulb in parallel that fails, will have no adverse effect on the other bulbs in that circuit
When three bulbs connected to a battery in parallel circuit what will happen to the brightness of the bulbs?
The brightness of three bulb would be mare than one
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.
In a circuit does lamp gets dimmer if more lamps with same battery?
this depends on 1. whether the extra bulbs are being connected in parallel circuit or in series with each other, and 2. the power rating of the battery. supposing the battery power rating is greater than all the individual bulbs put together, the bulbs will glow the same maximum intensity if they are connected in parallel, and will become dimmer if connected end to end i.e in series.
Does the brigthness of a bulb stay the same in a parellel circuit no matter how many bulbs are there?
If all the bulbs are connected in parallel, and there is enough current, yes, the brightness will be the same. The voltage (which is the amount of energy in every charge), remains the same for all bulbs
Why bulbs connected inparallel?
all the bulbs must in parallel because all must get the same voltage.......in parallel voltage is constant.if they are connected in series they will not get same voltage
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.

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.
If you have 3 light bulbs on a single circuit what kind of circuit do you have?
Parallel
When three bulbs connected to a battery in parallel circuit what will happen to the brightness of the bulbs?
The brightness of three bulb would be mare than one
What will be the brightness of the third bulb when we attach one bulb to a parallel connection of two bulbs with same power?
since all the bulbs are connected in parallel the voltage supplied for all the bulbs are same......so third bulb also glows with the same brighteness......this is same as the tube lights connected in our house.............
How would you identify a defective light bulb if 15 bulbs are connected in parallel?
it will be the one that is dark
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.
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 will a single burned-out bulb affect the string of lights if each light is attached to its own wire?
When bulbs are connected in series to one another, a failure of one bulb will open the circuit and the remaining bulbs in the line will go out because they have no power. However, bulbs in the line preceding the failed bulb will continue to be lit because their source of power has not been interrupted. When bulbs are connected in parallel, a failure of one bulb will have no effect the remaining bulbs because the power is not routed through any single bulb alone.
The electric bulb in your household circuits are connected in parallel what happens to the line current and line voltage as you turn on more light bulbs?
The line current increases when more bulbs are switched on in parallel, since more parallel current paths results in lower effective resistance. The line voltage should not change in response to any normal use of electric power in a single house.
