What else can I help you with?
This circuit is a series circuit because?
the same current flows through both light bulbs
What do you think will determine the number of bulbs you can light up in a series circuit?
Assuming the bulbs are identical, the voltage drop across each one is inversely proportional to the number of bulbs. So, for example, 240V could power 20 12V bulbs in series. In addition, the circuit would have to be able to supply the necessary current.
Gene has a string of lights on a series circuit. What will occur if one of the light bulbs on the circuit burns out?
If one of the light bulbs in Gene's series circuit burns out, the entire circuit will break, causing all the lights to go out. This happens because, in a series circuit, the electrical current must flow through each component in sequence. When one bulb fails, it creates an open circuit, preventing electricity from reaching the remaining bulbs. To restore the lights, the burned-out bulb must be replaced or repaired.
In a series circuit what would happen if one of the bulbs stopped working?
All the bulbs will go out. In a series circuit, the current at all points is the same. This is Kirchoff's Current Law. If you loosen or remove a bulb in a series circuit, the current at that bulb becomes zero, and by Kirchoff's Current Law, the current in every part of the circuit also becomes zero.
What does the light bulb do in a circuit?
Bulbs convert an electrical energy to produce light
What happen in a parellel circuit when the light bulb burn out?
The other bulbs continue to glow, with the same power as before. The total current and power decreases by the amount lost to the one bulb.
Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?
Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.
When the two bulbs are in placewhat happens?
When two light bulbs are in place, there will be a circuit created where electricity can flow through both bulbs. If the circuit is intact and the bulbs are functioning, they will both light up. If one of the bulbs is faulty or the circuit is broken, then both bulbs may not light up.
If you have three light bulbs on a circuit but all the bulbs have a different electrical path what kind of circuit do you have?
Parallel.
In a series circuit of three bulbs adding another one will?
Do nothing. But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.
Can a circuit have two bulbs and a buzzer?
Of course. The circuit in my house has two door buzzers and almost 30 bulbs.
How is the current affected by the number of bulbs?
As the number of bulbs in a series circuit increases, the current decreases. As the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increases, the current increases.
What happens to the voltages across the light bulbs in a parallel circuit change as more light bulbs are added to the circuit?
nothing
In a series circuit when adding light bulbs does the current change?
Yes. The current is inversely proportional to the resistance. I = V / R where I is current, V is voltage, and R is resistance. Adding light bulbs adds resistance. Current is constant throughout a series circuit; it doesn't change no matter what. Voltage changes.
What happened when you loosened one of the bulbs?
Loosening one bulb in a series circuit will break the circuit and cause all the bulbs to turn off. In a parallel circuit, loosening one bulb will not affect the other bulbs, and they will remain lit.
If you have 3 light bulbs on a single circuit what kind of circuit do you have?
Parallel
Which type of circuit will still bulbs if one is burnt out?
Parallel circuit
