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.
What else can I help you with?
If you wired up the circuit with a bulb two batteries and a switch with a thin wire what will happen?
The circuit will likely overload the thin wire due to the higher current flowing from the batteries to the bulb. This can cause the wire to heat up and potentially melt or even start a fire. It's important to use wires that can handle the current in a circuit to prevent overheating and potential safety hazards.
What is the function of the spring in the torchlight?
The spring in a torchlight is typically used to create tension and maintain contact between the batteries and the electrical components inside the torchlight. This ensures a continuous flow of electricity to power the light bulb or LED.
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.
In parallel circuit whathappens to the total resistance if one branch opens-Provide an example?
In a parallel circuit, each load added subtracts from total resistance. When one or more loads is removed from a parallel circuit, the total resistance is increased, reducing the total amperage draw. The less resistance a load has, the more current can pass through. This is part of Ohm's law. The mathematical equation that describes Ohm's law is: I=V/R , where I is the current in amperes, V is the potential difference in volts,and R is a circuit parameter called the resistance For example : The humble light-bulb is rated by the watts it uses. The amount of watts used by a light-bulb is calculated using Ohm's law. With the resistance of the bulb's filament and the voltage the bulb is designed to operate with, one can derive the amperage the bulb will draw. The amperage is then multiplied by the voltage to show wattage. Using Ohm's law : With the resistance of a 40watt 120volt light-bulb, only 0.33amps is able to pass through the bulb's 363ohm filament at 120volts. A lamp that has two 40watt bulbs inplace, and the two bulbs are in parallel, the circuit will have a resistance of 179ohms and draw 0.67amps which is 80watts at 120volts.
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.
What will happen to a bulb if you add more batteries to a simple circuit?
Adding more batteries to a simple circuit will increase the voltage supplied to the bulb. This will cause the bulb to become brighter as it receives more electrical energy. However, if the voltage exceeds the bulb's maximum rating, it may burn out.
Why does adding more batteries to a circuit cause an attached light bulb to become brighter?
Adding more batteries increases the voltage across the circuit, which results in a higher current flowing through the light bulb. The increased current generates more heat and light in the bulb, making it appear brighter.
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.
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!
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'.
Is a circuit with 2 batteries and a light bulb a series circuit?
A circuit with two batteries and a light bulb can be a series circuit if the batteries and the light bulb are connected in a single path, meaning the current flows through each component one after the other. In this configuration, the voltage from both batteries adds up, and if one component fails, the entire circuit stops working. However, if the batteries are connected in parallel or if there are multiple paths for current to flow, it would not be considered a series circuit.
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
What might happen to the bulb if you added too many extra batteries to the circuit?
If you added the batteries in parallel, then the bulb would stay on for a long time and nobody would get any sleep. If you added the batteries in series, then the voltage across the bulb would eventually become excessive and the bulb would burn out.
Will the circuit with two batteries a bulb and a motor work?
If you will connect it right, it will work.
