As the number of bulbs in a series circuit increases, the current decreases. As the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increases, the current increases.

The electric bulb in your household circuits are connected in parallel what happens to the line current and line voltage as you turn on more light bulbs?

The line current increases when more bulbs are switched on in parallel, since more parallel current paths results in lower effective resistance. The line voltage should not change in response to any normal use of electric power in a single house.


Is it more difficult for current to flow through a circuit with two bulbs than with one?

yes because of bulb resistance :)


What would happen to a series circuit if another bulb was added?

A: Adding any resistance bulbs or whatever in a series circuit will reduce current and will reduce total power. In this case the bulb will glow dimmer as any additional bulbs are placed in the series circuit. this is true if the same input source is kept constant.


Example of current electricity?

Electric current is that current which generate from electric voltage . it flows on your induction motors also on your computer and your television set's cord and every where which device is operate by electricity. doesn't matter what instrument you are operating. it will flow.


What is the type of circuit where bulbs are next to each other?

The type of circuit where bulbs are next to each other is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, the current flows through each component in a single path, making it so that if one bulb goes out, the entire circuit will be broken and all bulbs will turn off. This is in contrast to a parallel circuit, where each component has its own separate path for the current to flow, allowing the other bulbs to stay lit even if one goes out.

What happens to the current if the number of bulbs stays the same but you use more cells?

If you add more cells in series with the bulbs, the current will increase as the voltage across the bulbs increases. If you add more cells in parallel with the bulbs, the current will stay the same because the voltage of the cells does not increase when they are added in parallel.


Does amperage increase as the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increase?

In a parallel circuit, the total amperage increases as the number of bulbs increases because the current has multiple paths to flow through. Each bulb offers a separate path that allows more current to flow. In a parallel circuit, adding more bulbs decreases the total resistance, allowing more current to pass through.


What do you think will determine the number of bulbs you can light up in a series circuit?

Assuming the bulbs are identical, the voltage drop across each one is inversely proportional to the number of bulbs. So, for example, 240V could power 20 12V bulbs in series. In addition, the circuit would have to be able to supply the necessary current.


Compare the current in a 2 light bulbs wired in a series circuit?

In a series circuit, the current passing through each component, like the light bulbs, is the same. This means that both light bulbs would have the same current flowing through them. If one light bulb were to burn out, current flow through both bulbs would stop.


Does the same current pass through each bulb?

If the bulbs are connected in series, the same current passes through each bulb. However, if the bulbs are connected in parallel, the current will split between the bulbs with the lower resistance receiving more current.


Why in houses if one bulb is fused the rest of the bulbs continue to glow?

If a circuit is wired in parallel, all the bulbs have their own independent access to electricity, so if one bulb goes out, the others are not affected. If the circuit is wired in series, then one bulb going out will block the current to all the other bulbs as well.


What are watt bulbs?

current consumtion of a bulb


Do LED bulbs flicker?

No, LED bulbs do not flicker because they operate on direct current and do not have a filament that can flicker like incandescent bulbs.


What will happen to the current if you add more bulbs to the cirrect series?

current will decrease


What happens to the current measured as more bulbs added?

It is unclear what type of circuit you are referring to, so I'll give both answers.parallel, current increases until too many bulbs have been added, then circuit breaker pops and current drops to zero.series, current decreases and all bulbs dim.


How much current do light bulbs use up when they are turned on?

When light bulbs are turned on, they typically use up around 0.5 to 1 ampere of current.


What happens to the current in a parallel circuit when more bulbs are added?

When more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit, the total current in the circuit increases because each bulb provides an additional path for current to flow. This is because in a parallel circuit, the current is divided amongst the branches, so adding more branches (bulbs) will increase the total current.
