If each lamp is connected in parallel, then there are three 'paths' that draw current from the supply.

Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?
Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.
Do you need a battery to see if a paper clip help light bulbs light?
Yes you do need a battery because the paper clip is usually used for an alternative for a wire and the paper clip is what the electricity travels through, so yes you do need a battery.
Why do ordinary light bulbs take more electrical energy than efficient bulbs?
The filament on normal light bulbs require a higher current of electricity to light up, and are more resistant to electricity as well. This causes it to use more electricity and generate more heat.
Will adding light bulbs to a parallel circuit causes all of the light bukbs to shine less brightly?
No. In a parallel circuit, the resistance gets cut in half, so logically the bulbs would do the opposite and get brighter.
What would happen if one of a set of light bulbs burn out in a parallel circuit?
It depends on the circuit. If it is a constant-current circuit, any light bulbs connected in parallel with it will become brighter. If it is a constant-voltage circuit like a typical household circuit, nothing will happen. Any connected in series with it will go out.
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.
What is the best way to light up 4 mini maglite bulbs at once?
A battery or batteries at the same voltage as the rating of the bulbs. Probably hooked in parallel.
Example of parallel circuit?
All the light bulbs in your house are in parallel across the power line.All the devices plugged into a power strip are in parallel.Everything in your car that gets power from the 12V battery is in parallel.etc.
Three identical bulbs are connected in series labeled A B and C to a battery which bulb is the brightest?
If three identical bulbs are connected in parallel to a battery, all three bulbs would have equal brightness.Kirchoff's voltage law states that the signed sum of the voltage drops around a series circuit is zero. A consequence of this is that, in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each parallel element is the same.There are effectively 6 series circuits in this example - battery and A - battery and B - battery and C - A and B - A and C - and B and C. These six combinations are also parallel circuits, and they are also in parallel with each other.
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 happens to the total current provided by the battery as more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit?
The total current increases in this case.
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.
Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?
Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.
How many lights will a 9v battery light?
This question cannot be answered properly without knowing at least the voltage of the light bulbs that are being asked about. When you know the bulbs' voltages then you will have to consider whether to wire them in series or in parallel to match the voltage available from the battery.
How much percent of the worlds electricity is from light bulbs?
None. Light bulbs use electricity, they do not create electricity.
Three identical bulbs are connected in parallel across a 12-V battery If one of the bulbs were removed from its socket then the potential difference measured across the empty socket would be?
12V. Every resistor in a parallel circuit shares the same voltage. It is the current that gets divided.
In a parallel circuit how is the brightness of the light bulbs?
the bulbs would be very bright seeing as the two or more light bulbs have very easy excusable paths for electricity to flow and get to the light bulbAnswerBecause the voltage across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same, each lamp will be subject to its rated voltage and, therefore, will operate at its rated power output.
