What happens to the power output of the source if more lamps are connected 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.

∙ 11y agoThe source remain dependable as more lamps are connected, the brithness of the last remain as the first lamp
- assuming the lamps are all identical and the source is a voltage source, the power output drops and the lamps dim
- assuming the lamps are all identical and the source is a current source, the power output rises and the lamps stay the same brightness.

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.
What does parallel circuit mean in science?
A circuit having two or more paths connected across the source.
Can you test the output amps of a DC generator with no load?
Any voltage source, whether a generator or a battery, will NOT supply an output current unless it is connected to a load. So the only way to test the output current is by connecting it to a load.
The rules of connecting voltmeter and ammeters in the circuit?
Connect ammeter in series and voltmeter in parallel to the circuit
What will happens if zener diode and resistance are connected in parallel?
If diode is connected in series then current will flow only in one direction. ie. Current flow occurs only when diode is forward biased. ANSWER: It depends are the diodes are connected in series if they are back to back no current will flow if connected in the forward conduction mode then they will conduct.
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 is the different between series and parallel connection?
In parallel connection all the positive terminals are connected with positive of the source and all the negative terminals are connected to negative of the source. Whereas in series connection one positive terminal is connected to the negative of another, like wise it goes on and finally the positive end is connected to the negative of the source.
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.
When two or more electric cells are connected together as a source of current?
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.
Which term describes electrical circuit with two or more devices connected to a source of electricity in one loop?
A parallel circuit
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.
