In parallel, each bulb will have full voltage applied across them. However, in series, the voltage across each bulb won't be the same as supply voltage. Thereby, bulbs connected in parallel will glow brighter.

Two lamps A and B are rated 60W 220V and 100W 220V respectively so why does the answer say that when connected in parallal bulb A is brighter?
In parallel, they both obviously have 220 v across them, so the 100 W bulb is obviously brighter than the 60 W one. The 60 W bulb has more resistance, and in series they both have to pass the same current, so the 60 W has more voltage across it and might be brighter.
A 40W bulb or a 60W bulb will glow more brighter if connected in series?
The 40-W lamp will be the brighter, because it has a greater resistance that the 60-W lamp and, therefore, will experience a greater voltage drop across its terminals. The closer the voltage drop is to the lamp's rated voltage, the brighter it will be.
Are bulbs brighter in a series or parallel curcuit?
Batteries in series makes the voltage additive. If the bulb is only rated at a specific voltage and you double the voltage the bulb will glow brighter but its life span will be shortened. Batteries in parallel will keep the voltage at the same level as a single battery but the endurance drain of the batteries will be doubled. Example, if a battery is drained of power, with a bulb being left on continuously, in one hour then two batteries in parallel would allow the bulb to glow for two hours before the batteries were drained of power.
Is a parallel circuit brighter than a series circuit?
Both are same. Only thing it depends upon the incoming voltage. In series ciruity if one bulb fails, the ciruit continuity breaks . In case of paraleel circuit even if one bulb fails the circuit continuity will not get affected
How are series circuits and parallel circuits?
A parallel circuit is used in a strand of Christmas lights so that if one bulb goes out, the rest don't. A parallel circuit is also used in circuit breakers of houses. A series circuit is used in a flashlight. Everything follows one path.
Does the number of batteries change the brightness of the bulb?
It will if the batteries are connected in series. If they are connected in parallel, the lamp will burn longer, but not brighter.
Light bulb in parallel circuit brightness?
Two bulbs connected in parallel are brighter than two connected in series. The resistance of the circuit is lower, electrons can flow more easily.
How you can quickly determine whether a string of lights is wired in series or parallel?
Remove a light bulb. If they all go out, it is series, if the all stay on, it is parallel.
If you have two 5 watt bulbs connected in series and then in parallel which circuit arrangement will give you brighter bulbs explain your answer?
Brighter in parallel. In series the voltage is divided between the two bulbs, thus the current will only be half so that the power of each bulb will only be one quarter (of 5 watts) in the series set-up.
Is it true that when a round bulb and a long are connected in a parallel circuit the long bulb is brighter than the round bulb?
Bulbs that are connected in parallel would be the same brightness as a bulb on its own. If the bulbs were in series with other bulbs, then they would be dimmer. The voltage would drop across a series.
Are lamps in house connected to series or parallel?
They can be connected to either supply. A bulb in series that fails, will cause all the other bulbs to go out. A bulb in parallel that fails, will have no adverse effect on the other bulbs in that circuit
What is a parallel bulb?
a parallel bulb is one that is connected in parallel with respect to the source voltage
Two lamps A and B are rated 60W 220V and 100W 220V respectively so why does the answer say that when connected in parallal bulb A is brighter?
In parallel, they both obviously have 220 v across them, so the 100 W bulb is obviously brighter than the 60 W one. The 60 W bulb has more resistance, and in series they both have to pass the same current, so the 60 W has more voltage across it and might be brighter.
What happens in a series circuit with three different watt bulb's which bulb will brighter?
The 2 bulb series circuit , a 3 bulb series circuit will increase resistance and therefore reduce the voltage across the bulb. The current in all points of the circuit will remain the same according to Kirchhoff.
How are bulb connected in the house?
In parallel
Which arrangement should be brighter when hitched to a single bulb 2 batteries in a series or 1 battery?
Two batteries in series will cause the bulb to burn brighter.
A 40W bulb or a 60W bulb will glow more brighter if connected in series?
The 40-W lamp will be the brighter, because it has a greater resistance that the 60-W lamp and, therefore, will experience a greater voltage drop across its terminals. The closer the voltage drop is to the lamp's rated voltage, the brighter it will be.
