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

∙ 12y agoIf the power source is capable of delivering the additional power required, then
the original two light bulbs display no change in their voltage, current, or power
dissipation when more light bulbs are added in parallel with them. So the only
effect of having added more is that there are then more glowing light bulbs, and
there is then more light in the laboratory.

Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?
Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.
In what type of circuit would a burned out light bulb cause other light bulbs in the circuit to go out?
This is the case in a series circuit. (like the small Christmas lights.)
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 be different about the circuit if a resistor were added in series with the light bulbs?
The total current in the circuit will decrease.
Light bulbs in a series circuit have the same brightness?
If they have the same resistance they will. Kirchhoff's' Law.
What happens to the voltages across the light bulbs in a parallel circuit change as more light bulbs are added to the circuit?
nothing
What happens if you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?
The circuit will have the flow of electricity interrupted.
Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?
Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.
What happens if one bulb in a series circuit burned out?
In a series circuit, all bulbs are necessary to complete the circuit. If one bulb goes out, the circuit is broken, so none of the bulbs would light up.
What happens when you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?
If you unscrewed any bulb in the circuit it would turn all of the bulbs off.
What do light bulbs do in a circuit?
light up
What happens to the voltage across the voltage source as more light bulbs are added in a series circuit?
Nothing.
If you have three light bulbs on a circuit but all the bulbs have a different electrical path what kind of circuit do you have?
Parallel.
How does light bulbs in a circuit affect the current size?
They don't unless you speaking about a parallel circuit in which total currect would be the sum of all the currents in each light bulb (The more light bulbs, the more current draw) If you're talking about a series circuit, nothing at all happens to the current, as in a seires circuit current is constant throughout the entire circuit (voltage changes). In a case such as this the more light bulbs in the circuit, the less the voltage becomes across those bulbs (furthest from the source), thus they will become dimmer due to lower power (P=IE).
If you have 3 light bulbs on a single circuit what kind of circuit do you have?
Parallel
What is the effect if a bulb is broken in a parallel or series circuit?
parallel circuit: Providing that the breakage does not result in a short circuit the other bulbs will still light. series circuit: If the breakage results in a short circuit through the bulb the other bulbs will light more brightly. If the breakage results in a breakage of the connection through the bulb then the other bulbs will not light.
What does the light bulb do in a circuit?
Bulbs convert an electrical energy to produce light
