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.


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


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..


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.


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 happens to the voltage as more bulbs are added in series?

The voltage in a series circuit is divided among the bulbs, so as more bulbs are added in series, each bulb receives less voltage. This causes the brightness of each bulb to decrease compared to when fewer bulbs are present.


In parallel circuits adding more bulbs causes them to stay the same brightness because?

the voltage across each is the same


How many people die from dust storms each year?

It is challenging to provide an exact number of deaths due to dust storms as causes of fatalities can vary. Dust storms can contribute to accidents, respiratory issues, and other health complications, leading to deaths. However, globally, dust storms are estimated to cause hundreds to thousands of deaths each year.


Can cigarette smoking kill more people each year then all the deaths due to aidsheroincrackcocainecar accidentsmurderfireand alcohol combined?

Yes, cigarette smoking causes more deaths each year than the combined total of deaths from AIDS, heroin and crack cocaine overdoses, car accidents, murder, fire, and alcohol. According to health statistics, smoking is responsible for over 480,000 deaths annually in the U.S. alone, significantly outnumbering fatalities from these other causes. This highlights the severe health risks associated with tobacco use compared to other substances and accidents.
