Would the lights be lighter in parallel or series?

The VOLTAGE in a series circuits will be dropped in to the connected lights.So the light after no1 will get much lowyer than the first light.Because voltage drop in first light will cause that problem of light to lighter. But in prallel connection the voltages are divided in to equal levels.So no voltage drops in prallel connection, all lights get full voltage as applied in input mode.SO THE LIGHTS BE LIGHTER IN SERIES CONNECTION.

What can you infer about whether or not your house lights are connected in series or parallel?

House lights are wired in parallel. If they were in series, when one burned out, all would. Christmas lights are wired in a combination of series and parallel - roughly 50 lights in each series string. that's why if one bulb burns out, a section of the lights goes out.


Are the lights in your house wired in series or in parallel?

it would be kind of both


Are house circuits series or parallel?

Everything in a house is wired in parallel. If you had lights is series when one burns out they would all go out, much like cheap Christmas lights.


Would you use Series or parallel circuit for Christmas lights?

Yes you would use a serial circuit You would use parallel circuit lights for a Christmas tree because if you used series circuit lights, and one of the bulb blows, the rest of the bulbs will go out. But with parallel circuit lights, if one bulb blows the rest of the bulbs will remain their brightness.


Are the lights in your school connected in series current or parallel current?

Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.


Should a home be wired series or parallel?

Always parallel. Homes should never be wired in series. (That would be like the old Christmas tree lights where, if one bulb burned out, the entire string would not light up.)


Would ac or dc be better in lighting circuits in parallel?

Depends on the application. Lights in your house are in parallel with AC and lights in your car are in parallel with DC.


Why would you want a school wired in parallel?

1. You may not want all lights on, so with a parallel circuit you can turn some off while the others remain lit (you cannot do this with series) 2. If one of the lights go out, the others will remain lit


Strings of Christmas lights were made of miniature lamps connected in series if one lamp is removed what would happen?

all the lights would go out which is why most new lights these days are wired in parallel or prevent that from happening and then you just replace the one bulb... some lights have both a series and parallel circuit in a complete light circuit. for example (A) the complete light circuit has 4 (B) series sections and with each series circuit you have a (C) parallel circuit... so when (A) is lit up and the 3rd section of (B) is lit up and one bulb is out you have a bulb failure in the (C) circuit and if the same scenario is there and the first bulb in the (b) section is out the entire (B) section would be out which is a series circuit failure. Hope this helps


How would the bulbs shine in a series circiut?

An electric light bulb, incandescant type, is designed to operate at a certain voltage. Let's take 12 volt car headlights for example. Two 12 volt lights are connected in parallel in a car to provide the headlights, the same 2 lights could be connected in series if used on a truck with a 24 volt battery, or 20 of the lights could be connected in series if connected to a 240volt home electric circuit. (In the US think of 10 connected in series on your 110 volt system.) The lights would each produce about the same light output, but the number of lights would cause more light in total. In series there is a problem, when one light failsm they all go out. That's why lights in a house are connected in parallel.


How are parallel circuit lights better than series circuit lights using science facts?

In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for electricity to flow. So, if one switch is turned off there is still other paths for electricity to flow so the other lights can remain on. However, in a series circuit there is only one path for the electricity to travel. So, if the switch in a series circuit was turned off the electricity would stop flowing causing all the lights to go out.


Would you recommend wiring strings of lights in series or in parallel. Why?

A; both have are prone to consideration. In a series string any failure will make all of them to look like OFF In a parallel setup a failure can be easily ascertain however the power from each light will add up
