When you add more batteries to a circuit what happens to the bulb brightness?

if you put too many batteries in the socket, the bulb will blow out because there would be too much energy passing through the circuit.
If you put too little amount of batteries in, the brightness will be low, and will probably run out, because of the little amount of energy passing through the circuit
the more batteries, the brighter the bulb

∙ 16y agoThe brand of the battery does not affect the ability to provide power to a bulb - or any other load - However......there are brands that have a better consitency of production standards and that WILL affect what the consumer sees when they put in a replacement battery. The best brand that I have found is Duracell.

If the wire is very long then it takes long for the electricity to reach the bulb so the light in the bulb is dim. But if the wire is short, then you will see that the bulb lights up brightly. But if there is only one bulb and three batteries then the bulb will obviously burst due to the great amount of electricity.
Answer
The first answer is clearly ridiculous, as the length of a conductor has absolutely no effect on the time it takes 'electricity (sic) to reach the bulb'! The ONLY way in which the length of a conductor may affect the brightness of a lamp is if its resistance is high. A longer wire will always have a higher resistance than a shorter wire of identical cross sectional area. The reason for this is that a wire of higher resistance will result in a higher voltage drop along that wire, thus reducing the voltage available across the lamp.

What happens to the brightness of the bulb when the second bulb is put into a series circuit?
it should become dimmer
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!
How do we decrease the brightness of a bulb?
If the bulb is of the incandescent variety, then reducing the current in the circuit will do this.
If the electrical conductivity in an electrical circuit decreases then the brightness of the light bulb does what?
Then the brightness of the light buld increases.
How does the brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit compare to the brightness of the bulb in a simple circuit?
The brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit is the same as the brightness of a bulb in a simple circuit. By Kirchoff's voltage law, each element of a parallel circuit has the same voltage drop across it. With the same voltage, the same type of bulb will dissipate the same power, and have the same brightness.

How does the brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit compare to the brightness of the bulb in a series circuit?
u see the light bulbs on a series circuit's brightness evolves and the brightness on a parallel's circuit dont

The current is 0.4 A and the bulb in the circuit is bright. What will happen to the brightness of the bulb if you put another bulb in series in the circuit?
ANSWER: The brightness of both bulbs will decrease. If the bulbs are identical the current will decrease to 0.2 Amps. This is a simple series resistive circuit, the more bulbs you add in series both the amperage and bulb brightness will continue to go down.
Can you make a bulb glow more brightly by adding a second battery?
Yes, two batteries will make a light bulb brighter than one, provided that the batteries are placed in series. The brightness of the bulb is determined by the voltage, and placing two batteries in series rather than just using one increases the voltage.
If the electrical conductivity in an electrical circuit decreases then the brightness of the light bulb does what?
Then the brightness of the light buld increases.
How does area of the circuit affect brightness of bulb?
if light is low it can cuase the bulb brightnees.
What is the factor that affects the brightness of the bulb?
number and voltage of the cells in the circuit resistance of each bulb
How does the brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit compare to the brightness of the bulb in a simple circuit?
The brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit is the same as the brightness of a bulb in a simple circuit. By Kirchoff's voltage law, each element of a parallel circuit has the same voltage drop across it. With the same voltage, the same type of bulb will dissipate the same power, and have the same brightness.
Does the number of batteries change the brightness of the bulb?
It will if the batteries are connected in series. If they are connected in parallel, the lamp will burn longer, but not brighter.
In a circuit with 1 bulb which is of an equal voltage than the combined voltage of 2 batteries will the bulb fuse when the circuit is closed?
no
