As more lamps are put into a series circuit what happens to the overall current in the circuit?
The more lamps you add, the dimmer each would become. The brightness would be the same for each lamp -providing they are all the same wattage. If one of the lamps wasn't working, then none of them would work. If the wattage of the lamps varied, the brightest lamps would be those with the lower wattage rating (yes, this is not a mistake!).
Lamps in series can be dangerous if one isn't working, because the full circuit voltage would appear across the open terminal.

What happens to current in a series circuit?
the current in series will be same..
What happens to the amount of current in a series circuit as the number of batteries increase?
it increases
If voltage is increased in a circuit what happens to current series and parallel respectively?
In this case current flows from a high voltage to a lower voltage in a circuit.
What is the formula for total current in a series circuit?
Current = (Voltage across the circuit) divided by (Total resistance of the circuit). The current is the same at every point in the series circuit.
What is special about electric current in a series circuit?
In a series circuit the current remains the same throughout the circuit. This is not the case for parallel circuits.
What happens to current in a series circuit?
the current in series will be same..
What happens to the current in the series circuit?
current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit
What happens to the current in the other lights if one light burns out in a series circuit?
It depends what is the outcome of burning. If that light has created open circuit, circuit will break and there will not be any current. But if there is short circuit means overall resistance is decreased. Thus current will increase. Besides overall brightness will also increase. Thus, if in a series lesser the number of bulbs more will be brightness.
What happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?
If the track of the current is broken in a series circuit, the circuit will be interrupted and no current will flow. The components in the circuit will not receive any power and will not function until the circuit is repaired.
What Happens To The Overall Current Of The Circuit If The Number Of Receivers (and Thus The Number Of Branches) Is Doubled?
If the number of receivers (branches) in a circuit is doubled, the overall current of the circuit would also double, assuming that the voltage remains constant. This is because current is divided equally among the branches in a series circuit, so increasing the number of branches would result in each branch carrying less current if the overall current remained the same.
What happens in a series circuit if one of the resistors is replaced with a resistor having a lower resistance value?
In a series circuit, if one resistor is replaced with a resistor of lower resistance, the total resistance in the circuit decreases. This leads to an increase in the overall current flowing through the circuit.
What happens in a series circuit if a light blows?
The circuit current is interrupted and all the lights will go out.
What happens if you add more loads to a series circuit?
When you have multiple loads in a series, the resistance of the loads is added together allowing very little current to flow through the circuit to power any of the loads, making for a low amperage circuit. If you have your loads in parellel, the resistance of the loads in the circuit is subtracted which allows more current to flow, making for a high amperage circuit.
What happens to the current in a circuit when one bulb is replaced by two bulbs in series?
current in series always stays the same
