Because the total current is divided between the two components. For example, if the current was one amp, and you connected two bulbs in series, ech bulb would get half an amp of current. As brightness is proportional to current, this means they glow more dimly.
street lights are connected in parallel mostly because if any lamp stops glowing but the other lamps continue their glow
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.
When light bulbs are connected in series circuits, they will get dimmer whenever a bulb is added. This is because the current is shared between all of the bulbs equally.AnswerLamps only operate at their rated power when subjected to their rated voltage. If you connect lamps in series, each lamp will be subject to a lower voltage, so they will not operate at their rated power and, so, will be dimmer. The more powerful lamps will actually glow less than the less-powerful lamps because their resistance is lower and the voltage drop across them will also be lower than the voltage drop across the less powerful lamps.
For a lamp to operate at its rated power, it must be subject to its rated voltage. The lower the voltage, the lower the resulting power. In fact, a small drop in voltage will cause substantial drop in power. Higher 'wattage' lamps have lower resistance values than lower 'wattage' lamps.So, if you put two lamps in series, the greater voltage drop will appear across the lamp with the greater resistance. In your example, that means the 100-W lamp will be subject to the greater voltage drop, and its loss of power will be less than that of the 200-W lamp. So the lower power lamp will be the brighter of the two.
Batteries in series makes the voltage additive. If the bulb is only rated at a specific voltage and you double the voltage the bulb will glow brighter but its life span will be shortened. Batteries in parallel will keep the voltage at the same level as a single battery but the endurance drain of the batteries will be doubled. Example, if a battery is drained of power, with a bulb being left on continuously, in one hour then two batteries in parallel would allow the bulb to glow for two hours before the batteries were drained of power.
The bulb that will glow first when 3 bulbs are connected in series and the switch is connected after 1 bulb is the second bulb in the series. The current flows through all the bulbs in a series circuit, but the second bulb experiences the full potential difference first as it is connected directly to the source.

this depends on 1. whether the extra bulbs are being connected in parallel circuit or in series with each other, and 2. the power rating of the battery. supposing the battery power rating is greater than all the individual bulbs put together, the bulbs will glow the same maximum intensity if they are connected in parallel, and will become dimmer if connected end to end i.e in series.
If a lamp burns out in parallel circuit, the other two lamps will continue to glow. If a lamp burns out in the series circuit, the other two lamps will also go out. If 3 lamps are in one series circuit, and one of them goes out, the loop is disconnected.
A lamp's rated power only applies when the lamp is supplied with its rated voltage. If you connect the lamps in series, with the same supply voltage, then the lamps are no longer subjected to their rated voltage and, so, will not operate at their rated power.
The brightness of the lights may or may not change depending on the circuit in which they are wired. In a series circuit, all the bulbs (called lamps) will experience the same current flow. The same amount of current will be flowing through each one, and each one will be dropping some amount of voltage. If we remove some of the lamps and reconnect the circuit, the lamps will glow brighter because there is less total resistance in the circuit. The remaining lamps will end up dropping more voltage, and will glow brighter. In a parallel circuit, removing bulbs (or adding them) will not affect the operation of the other lamps in the circuit (providing the voltage source is adequate). We know that each of the lights in a household circuit is wired in parallel, and turning one or more on or off won't affect the operation (the brightness) of any other light that is on.
No, a tomato cannot glow when connected to a light bulb. Tomatoes do not have the ability to produce light on their own, so they cannot glow like a light bulb.
Lamps on PoptropicaThere is a glow stick on Early Poptropica, down in the well at Early Poptropica village.There is a lantern in the Haunted House.There are five street lamps hanging from the buildings at Golden Harbor.(see related questions)
