For a series circuit... Each bulb has different impedance (ohms) resulting in a different voltage drop across each. Remember Kirchoff's Current Law: The current at each point in a series circuit is the same. That same current, multiplied by the different voltage drops results in different powers (watts = amps * volts) for each bulb. For a parallel circuit. Again, each bulb still has different impedance. This time, the voltage drop is the same (Kirchoff's Voltage Law) but the current in each bulb is different. Same situation - different power in each bulb.

What is the Function of light bulb in an electric circuit?
The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.
Why will the current flow be different in a heated rear screen circuit than a side light circuit?
the heated rear screen circuit has a higher resistance compared to the side light circuit
If a light bulb is missing in a series circuit will the bulb light?
If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.
What happens to lights in parallel if one goes out?
In a series circuit each light completes its part of the circuit and connects to the next light. So, if one light fails, the circuit is broken and the flow of current to all lights must stop.
A light bulb in a simple circuit blows and goes out Is current now flowing in the circuit?
No. Circuit is open but still HOT.
Combining equal intensities of red light green light blue light makes?
Combining equal intensities of red, green, and blue light in the correct proportions creates white light. This combination is known as additive color mixing and is used in technology such as computer monitors and televisions to produce a wide range of colors by varying the intensities of these primary colors.
What are the main 3 white light colours?
The main three colors in white light are red, green, and blue. Mixing these colors in varying intensities can create different shades of white light.
How are the primary colors of light mixed to produce other colors?
The primary colors of light (red, green, and blue) can be mixed in varying intensities to produce a wide range of colors. When red and green light mix, it creates yellow; green and blue light mix to create cyan; and red and blue light combine to make magenta. Mixing all three primary colors in equal intensities produces white light.
How does the eye adjust itself to deal with light of varying intensity?
The eye adjusts to varying light intensities through a process called pupillary light reflex. In bright light, the pupil constricts to reduce the amount of light entering the eye, protecting the retina. In dim light, the pupil dilates to allow more light to enter the eye for better visibility. This reflex is controlled by the iris muscles responding to signals from the autonomic nervous system.
How do cathode ray tubes operate?
CRTs operated by playing a beam of electrons of varying intensities over a display surface such as a phosphor screen, which formed patterns of light that took the form of characters or images
What is it called when one light goes out and they all go out?
It is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, if one light bulb goes out, it breaks the circuit and causes all the lights to go out.
What are the potential causes of a flickering light?
Potential causes of a flickering light include a loose bulb, faulty wiring, a problem with the light switch, or issues with the electrical circuit.
How can dynamic lighting enhance the visual impact of a portrait?
Dynamic lighting can enhance the visual impact of a portrait by creating depth, highlighting features, and adding drama through the use of varying light intensities and angles.
Which color of light is produced by mixing green light and blue light?
If you mix green light and blue light, you get turqoise (a greenish-blueish color) light. Hope this helped! -ID6784
What causes burned car light connectors?
A bad connection, or excessive resistance on that circuit.
What does a filament lamp do in a circuit?
A filament lamp produces light by converting electrical energy into heat and then light. It acts as a resistive load in the circuit, meaning it resists the flow of current and causes the filament to glow and produce light.
What causes the fuse to pop everytime you press on the brake pedal?
A short in the Brake light circuit? Bad brake light switch?
