Will adding more batteries to a simple circuit will make the bulb?

If you add another battery in series with the first one, then the bulb will
glow brighter, and may burn out if you carry things too far.
If you add another battery in parallel with the first one, then the brightness
of the bulb won't change, but the battery will last twice as long.

If you wired up the circuit with a bulb two batteries and a switch with a thin wire what will happen?
the bulb will light up
What test could you do on an iodine crystal to comfirm thst iodine is a non metal?
Make a simple circuit, with a battery, bulb, connect it to the crystal and if the lamp doesnt light up it isn't a metal :D
Why do you need a circuit to make a light bulb work?
To get an open circuit to work and light a light bulb, turn the switch on. Or hardwire it to power up the lamp. If the battey or other power source is good, and so is the lamp, make sure all the connections are good and that the conductor (wire) isn't broken. With all the components in good shape and properly connected, the light should be glowing.
Why does a bulb glow when electric passes through it?
The filament in the bulb has resistance. The current flowing through the resistance of bulb causes the filament to dissipate energy in the form of heat and light. The filament is actually glowing white-hot because of the energy it is dissipating, thus giving off light.
How do you know if a material will carry electricity?
If you know what the material is you can determine whether the material is a normal conductor of electricity by reference. If not try completing a circuit with torch battery(ies), a bulb from the torch, some wire and see if the bulb lights up. If so the material in the circuit conducts electricity.
If you add more batteries to a simple circuit will make the bulb?
That will depend on whether they are added in series or parallel.
What will happen to a bulb if you add more batteries to a simple circuit?
It gets brighter and brighter - until it burns out.
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!
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
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.
What are the subsystems of a flashlight?
Bulb, circuit, batteries, switch, reflectors, and housing.
What might happen to the bulb if you add too many extra batteries to the circuit?
death 2 the bulb
Will the circuit with two batteries a bulb and a motor work?
If you will connect it right, it will work.
If you wired up the circuit with a bulb two batteries and a switch with a thin wire what will happen?
the bulb will light up
What would happen if you added another battery to a simple circuit of two wires a battery and a bulb?
SERIES: A. If the additional battery is added to the circuit in a "Series Aiding" configuration, the bulb would get brighter. However, it would probably burn out very shortly, if not immediately, depending on the power rating of the bulb. Flashlight batteries such as two and three cell flashlights are usually series aiding. B. If the additional battery is added to the circuit in a "Series Opposing" configuration, the intensity of the bulb would decrease or go out completely if the opposing voltages are equal. (you can do a little experiment with a three or four cell flashlight by reversing the polarity of one or more of the batteries. The reversed battery will be series opposing and cancel 1.5 volts of the other batteries.) PARALLEL: If batteries are added to the circuit in parallel, the intensity of the bulb would remain the same but the batteries would last longer. Be sure the battery voltages are the same when adding batteries in parallel.
What might happen to a bulb if you added too many extra batteries to the circuit?
If you added more batteries in parallel, then the bulb would shine for a long time. If you added more batteries in series, then the bulb would burn very brightly for a short time and then 'burn out'.
What a batteries job is?
The job of a battery is to power the torch. if the circuit is not complete then the bulb wont light up and if the batteries arent the right way round the bulb wont light up either.
