How does the number of bulbs affect the amount of electrisaty in a circuit?

Adding additional lamps has no effect on the supply voltage supplied to you home. If the lamps are connected in series, then the sum of voltage-drops appearing across each lamp will equal the supply voltage. If the lamps are connected in parallel, then the voltage across each lamp will equal the supply voltage.

parallel arrangement, and a decreased current in a series arrangement.

What happens to the amount of current in a series circuit as the number of batteries increase?
it increases
How does increasing the number of cells in a parallel circuit affect the current?
by adding resistance in parallel more current is bound to flow
What is a final circuit?
A final subcircuit is the circuit which the number of points supplied do not exceed 15A
What is a closed circuit?
A closed circuit is a kind of electric circuit in which the path that the electrons follow forms a complete circuit.
What in a series circuit is constant?
Nothing about a series circuit is necessarily constant. You may be thinking of the current, which is the same number at any point in a series circuit. That doesn't mean that it can't change. But if it does change, it'll change at every point, and still be the same number everywhere in the series circuit.

Is a circuit breaker a resistor?
No, a circuit breaker is a safety device that is used in a circuit to limit the amount of current in an overload or short circuit condition. The number on a breaker is the top end current that the breaker will handle before opening the circuit.
What happens to the brightness of the lights when you decrease the number of light bulbs in a circuit?
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.
Does changing the number of magnets in a generator affect the amount of energy produced?
Yes
What variables can affect the number of fish in the lake?
the amount of fish, the amount of people fishing, the temperature for fishing season, and pollution
How does increasing the number of cells in a parallel circuit affect the current?
by adding resistance in parallel more current is bound to flow
Could the number of sunspots affect the amount of volcanic activity on earth?
Highly unlikely.
What factors affect current strength in a series circuit?
The number of resistors and their value. The wire and the junction points have resistance also.
