Nothing will happen to the possible output power of the power source i.e it will not increase. Each power source has its maximum possible output power. Adding more lamps in parallel will result in a drop in the circuit's total resistance which causes the total current drawn by the lamps to increase. Your wires might be burnt as a result so be careful.

What is a parallel bulb?

a parallel bulb is one that is connected in parallel with respect to the source voltage


If you connect 2 12 volt batteries in parallel?

You will have a 12 Volt source with double the charge capacity.


If one of three lamps blows out when connected in parallel what happens to the current in the other two?

If three lamps are connected in parallel and one blows out, the current in the other two does not change. This assumes that the net change in total current does not cause the power source to change voltage.


What happens to the current of R1 connected in series with R2 when it is also connected in parallel with R3?

The current, if connected to a voltage source that can supply the needed current to (R1+R2) R3, will be unchanged. If the source cannot supply the needed current, the terminal voltage will decrease, which will change the current flowing through R1 and R2.


Why resistors are connected in series with the voltage source and in parallel with current source?

a voltage source has very less(negligible)resistance.thus is considered as a short.if connected in parallel to a resistor will draw all the current acting as a short.thus is always connected in series of a resistor.where as a current source has tremendous resistance(infinity).thus if connected in series will be conidered as an open branch and no current will flow through it other than the source current.


Why is the current source connected in series only?

Current sources should not be connected in series. It's okay to connect them in parallel.


A resistor and a capacitor are connected in parallel across a 120 v dc source determine the voltages across the resistor and the capacitor?

Since they're connected in parallel directly across the source, the voltages across both componentsare equal, and are equal to the source, i.e. 120 v DC.


What happens to the power outputs of the sources if more lamps are connect in parallel?

Nothing will happen to the possible output power of the power source i.e it will not increase. Each power source has its maximum possible output power. Adding more lamps in parallel will result in a drop in the circuit's total resistance which causes the total current drawn by the lamps to increase. Your wires might be burnt as a result so be careful.

Is a voltmeter placed parallel to a circuit?

Depends. What did you want to measure? If it's voltage drop across the incandescent element, then you had better hook up your infinite resistance voltmeter in parallel with the lamp.


What does parallel circuit mean in science?
