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 does electric current flow in the b connection?
how does electric current flow in the b connection? do the two bulbs in a series circuit, light when the middle bulb is loose? why?
Why do two incandescent light bulbs glow with different intensities when connected in the same circuit?
When you are wiring two light bulbs in SERIES, you split the voltage to each light bulb in HALF, meaning that it will only glow half the brightness per bulb, but it will only draw the current of one bulb, meaning if the bulbs were connected to a battery, it would last longer to connect them together in series, rather than parallel.
What happens when removing a bulb in a parallel circuit?
The other light bulb still continues to shine if one light bulb is taken out of a parallel circuit. In a series circuit if one light bulb is removed the other light bulb goes black. This happens because the circuit is incomplete.
What happens when you unscrew a light bulb in a circuit with two bulbs?
There are a few possible different results. One thing that happens in EVERY possible situation is that the bulb you unscrew is dark after you unscrew it. -- If the two bulbs are configured in either a series or a parallel arrangement and the power is off, then both bulbs are dark before you unscrew one, and nothing changes after. -- If the power is on and the two bulbs are configured in parallel, then the one you don't unscrew continues to glow after the other one is gone. -- If the power is on and the two bulbs are configured in series, then BOTH bulbs go out when you unscrew only one of them.
What two circuits one series and one parallel use light bulbs to provide resistance. Both circuits have the same number of light bulbs?
Series circuit gives higher resistance compared to parallel circuit.
If two light-bulbs are connected in a series circuit and one of the light-bulb's current flowing is 0.5 A what is the current flowing in the other light-bulb?
Current in a series circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Voltages are additive. Voltage in a parallel circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Currents are additive.
What is the type of circuit where two bulbs are next to each other?
Series circuit.
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.

Is it true that if two light bulbs are connected in a series circuit and turning off one will not effect the other?
No, If they are in parallel, turning off one won't effect the other.
What happens if you add 2 light bulbs to a simple circuit?
A: There is no such a thing as simple circuit if the bulbs are put in series the light will dim if put in parallel both bulbs will light up the same provided the source can sustain the power increase
What happens to the current in a circuit when one bulb is replaced by two bulbs in series?
current in series always stays the same
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.
If you have three light bulbs two are connected in parallel This combination is connected in series with the third bulb What is the relative intensity of each bulb?
All the bulbs should be the same brightness because they are all receiving the same voltage, which would be half the voltage of the original source. To visualize why this is the case, imagine the electrons moving through the circuit. The electrons can take two paths through the circuit but either way they have to pass through two light bulbs. The two bulbs in parallel may, however, appear slightly dimmer because the current is split between them and restricted by the third bulb. Assume that the resistance of all light bulbs are equal. The current through the light bulbs in parallel will be 1/2 that through the one in series as it is split equally between the two of them. The intensity of each light bulb is proportional to the power through each bulb. Power is I2R. So, if the total current is 1 amp the power through the series light bulb is R, where the power through the parallel light bulbs will be 1/4R. Therefore the intensity of the parallel bulbs will be 1/4 the light bulb in series.
What is a combination circuit?
It was mentioned that there are two different ways to connect two or more electrical devices together in a circuit. They can be connected by means of series connections or by means of parallel connections. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by series connections, then the circuit is referred to as a series circuit. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by parallel connections, then the circuit is referred to as a parallel circuit. A third type of circuit involves the dual use of series and parallel connections in a circuit; such circuits are referred to as compound circuits or combination circuits. The circuit depicted at the right is an example of the use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuitBy EngineerMuhammad Zaheer Meer GMS
