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.

Why is there zero current when a lightbulb burns out?
because there is no voltage and resistance?
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.
What would be different about the circuit if a resistor were added in series with the light bulbs?
The total current in the circuit will decrease.
What happens when you break fluorescent bulbs?
You create dangerous glass shards and release the chemicals inside the bulb. These include phosphorous but more importantly a small amount of mercury which is a dangerous bio-hazard and pollutant. you should dispose of used fluorescent bulbs safely in a recycling facility which will recover the mercury.
What is the main difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
The series circuit has one wire, while the parallel circuit has two wires. And if you connect the extra wire its dim because your taking away electrons and energy flowing through the main circuit -Hope this helped:D The difference is that series circuit has one path but parallel has more than one path. -hope this helped!:D ~Bunnii Boo
Lightbulbs connected in series all carry the same current regardless of their resistances?
false
When lightbulbs are connected in a series how much current flows through each one?
same current flow in each bulb
What is used to measure the current in a circuit and how is it connected?
To measure the current in the circuit an ammeter is used and it is connected in series
A W pf capacitor is connected into a 240 V Hz circuit. what is the current flow in this circuit?
a 30 pf capacitor is connected into a 240v, 60 hz circuit. what is the current flow into the circuit
How can an ammeter be connected in a circuit and not effect the flow of current?
The ammeter does affect the flow of current in a circuit, however, the resistance of the ammeter is so small in comparison to the circuit that the effect is negligible. It is connected in series.
How to measure current?
Current in a circuit can be measured by using a device called ammeter that is always connected in series in the circuit in which current is to be measured.
A 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor What is the current in the circuit?
If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in series, the current in the circuit is 1.0 amperes. If a 9.0 volt battery is connected to a 4.0-ohm and 5.0-ohm resistor connected in parallel, the current in the circuit is 0.5 amperes.
Is the amount of current that flows in the wire of electric circuit the same as the current that flows in the filament of the light connected in that circuit?
yes
How is an ammeter connected in a circuit?
Series connect it within the line of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.More detailSince we measure the flow of current IN the circuit, the ammeter must be connected in series with the part of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.One of the ammeter's terminals must be connected to a point of the incoming current flow and its second terminal must be connected to the point of on-going current flow. To do this, cut the relevant circuit wire and connect one terminal of the ammeter to each end of the cut.
When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
When wires are connected to the terminals of a battery. what causes electric current in the circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
What happened when Volta connected the parts of his cells in circuit?
An electric current flowed around the circuit.
