What else can I help you with?
Are the lamps in buildings connected in parallel or series?
No. They are connected in parallel with each other.
What happens to the power output of each lamp if more lamps are connected in parallel?
The lamps will get dimmer. In a parallel circuit, voltage is constant. Whereas, in a series circuit, amps are constant.
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.
In a circuit does lamp gets dimmer if more lamps with same battery?
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.
Why are house lights parallel?
in parallel series if one of the light stops working also the remaining lights can workAnswerLamps will only operate at their power when they are subjected to their rated voltage. The only way of subjecting all your lamps to the same (rated) voltage, is to connect them in parallel (because the same voltage appears across each branch of a parallel circuit).The fact that the other lamps will continue to work if one lamp fails is a bonus!
Why do you connect electrical lamps in series?
If you are referring to house wiring, then you don't normally connect lamps in series with each other; they are normally connected in parallel with each other. When lamps are connected in parallel, each lamp is subjected to the same voltage; providing this is the rated voltage of each lamp, them each will operate at their rated power.If you did connect lamps in parallel, the you would find that the lamps with the higher power ratings will be dimmer than the lamps with the lower power ratings -which is not what you might expect!

In which case will there be more current in each of three lamps- if they are connected to the same battery in series or in parallel?
more current will be in case of parallel because in series combination resistence is greater with respect to parallel combination
How can two 4v lamps be lit up by two 2v cells?
-- Connect the cells in series. The two terminals of their series combination present a potential difference of 4 volts. -- Connect both lamps in parallel between the terminals of the series-connected cells.
How could you determine whether a string of lights is in series or parallel BEFORE you purchase?
if the lamps are standard edison or medium they may be parallel lamps smaller than your finger are series
Are bulbs in parallel brighter or bulbs in series brighter?
Lamps connected in parallel are subject to the same voltage. Provided this voltage corresponds to the lamps' rated voltage, then each lamp will operate at its rated power and at its full rated brightness.Individual lamps connected in series operate below their rated voltage (the sum of the voltage drops around a series circuit equals the supply voltage) and will, therefore, operate below their rated power and brightness. The lamps will vary in brightness; those with the lower power ratings will be brightest and those with the higher power ratings will be least bright.
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.
Why are lamps connected in parallel?
If lamps were connected in series, if one light blew out, the entire system would shut down.Although this is true, the main reason is that, by connecting each lamp in parallel with each other, each is subject to the same voltage*. And the power rating of a lamp only applies when it is subjected to its rated voltage.(*The voltage across each branch of a parallel circuit is identical.)
Why are street lights connected in parallel?
street lights are connected in parallel mostly because if any lamp stops glowing but the other lamps continue their glow
How is the brightness of the lightness of the lights related to whether you connect the bulbs in series or in parellel?
For a lamp to operate at its rated power, it must be subjected to its rated voltage. Provided this is the case, then it doesn't matter whether lamps are connected in series or in parallel. For example, ten identical lamps, each rated at 12 V, will operate normally if connected in series across a 120-V supply (this is because they will each be subjected to a voltage drop of 12 V). They will also function normally if they are connected in parallel across a 12-V supply.
Is wiring in your house a parallel or series circuit?
Houshold circuits, like all non-trivial circuits, are wired in series-parallel. Switches are in series with loads. Loads, and switches with loads as combined units, are in parallel with each other.
