It will decrease the effective load resistance across the power supply terminals,

increase the total current through the load, and increase the total power required

to be supplied by the power supply.

In a series circuit of three bulbs adding another one will?

Do nothing. But in a parallel circuit, all the bulbs will get dimmer.


What happens to the current in a parallel circuit when more bulbs are added?

When more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit, the total current in the circuit increases because each bulb provides an additional path for current to flow. This is because in a parallel circuit, the current is divided amongst the branches, so adding more branches (bulbs) will increase the total current.


Does amperage increase as the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increase?

In a parallel circuit, the total amperage increases as the number of bulbs increases because the current has multiple paths to flow through. Each bulb offers a separate path that allows more current to flow. In a parallel circuit, adding more bulbs decreases the total resistance, allowing more current to pass through.


What would happen if you added one battery to a parallel circuit of two light bulbs?

Adding one more battery to a parallel circuit of two light bulbs would increase the voltage across the entire circuit. This would cause both light bulbs to shine more brightly as they receive more power. It will not affect the current flowing through the circuit but will boost the overall energy provided to the circuit.


Will adding light bulbs to a parallel circuit causes all of the light bukbs to shine less brightly?

No. In a parallel circuit, the resistance gets cut in half, so logically the bulbs would do the opposite and get brighter.


Are there supposed to be light bulbs in a parallel circuit?

Yes, light bulbs can be powered by a parallel circuit.


Is a series or parallel circuit used for filament light bulbs?

parallel


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.


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


What will happen to the total current if you keep adding bulbs in parallel to the circuit?

Adding more lamps in parallel (across) a line will cause total current to climb. It will keep climbing (increasing) until a load protection device (circuit breaker or fuse) breaks the circuit or until something fails because of excessive current.


What happens to the voltages across the light bulbs in a parallel circuit change as more light bulbs are added to the circuit?

nothing
