Does voltage add in a series circuit?
The voltage between the ends of the circuit doesn't change ... that's where the power source is connected. But when you add more items in a series circuit, the voltage across each item changes. The individual voltages across each item in the series circuit always add up to the voltage of the power source. So in general, if you add more items, the voltage across each of the original ones must drop somewhat.
Can there be a different voltage across each component in a circuit?
Yes, if it is a series circuit. In an ideal parallel circuit, there is equal voltage in each leg. In a real circuit, results may vary if there is voltage loss in the wiring.
Relation between voltage speed and current in alternating current motor?
voltage is inversly proportional to speed speed and current are directly proportional to each other but voltage and current are directly proportional to each other..
When the ammeter reading is zero and there are four resistor connected in seriesusing voltmeter identify which resistor causes the problem?
The ammeter is reading zero because there is no current flowing. This is because one of the resistors is faulty; the faulty resistor has an "open circuit" (open circuit means there is a broken connection). We know that: Ohms law is: V = I x R (voltage = current x resistance) Therefore because there is zero current in each resistor there will be zero voltage across each resistor. However we also know that: Kirchhoff's voltage law is: V1 +V2 +V3 + … = Vs (the sum of the voltage drops accross each component in a circuit MUST equal the supply (or battery) voltage). But if all the resistors are zero volts, then what component equals the supply (or battery) voltage? The battery voltage is developed across the open circuit… therefore the resistor which is faulty will have a voltage across it equal to the battery voltage. That easy to measure with a volt meter! hope this helps
Connected in series or parallel will each bulb glow brighter?
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.
What buzzing insect kills more people world-wide than all poisonous snakes combined?
The insect that causes the most human deaths world-wide is the mosquito, with an average of over a million deaths from malaria each year.
How many smoking related deaths occur each year?
Around 8 million people die each year due to smoking-related causes, according to the World Health Organization. These deaths include both direct smoking-related illnesses like lung cancer and heart disease, as well as deaths due to exposure to secondhand smoke.

Roughly 57 million.
How many people are killed by chimps each year?
There are not a lot of human deaths caused by non-human primates. These deaths include being crushed by the weight of the primate.
Are volcanos more dangerous than earthquakes?
In terms of human deaths accountable to each, earthquakes are way ahead.
Why are experiments on human illegal?
If people used experiments on each other, there would be a lot more deaths on innocent people.
