Provided that the power supply is reasonably well regulated, the failure

or removal of one device in a parallel circuit has no effect on the others.

When three bulbs connected to a battery in parallel circuit what will happen to the brightness of the bulbs?

The brightness of three bulb would be mare than one


What would happen to the brightness of the bulb if you added a second bulb in with the first?

The brightness of a bulb would not change if you added a second bulb in parallel with the first.Unless, of course, the increased current exceeded the power supply's capacity causing a reduction in voltage.


If you unscrewed the second bulb in the parallel circuit when it was on what happens to the first?

Nothing. That's why it's a parallel circuit. If it was a series circuit, then the first bulb would go out.


How does the brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit compare to the brightness of the bulb in a series circuit?

In a parallel circuit, each bulb receives the full voltage of the power source, so all bulbs shine at their full brightness. In a series circuit, the brightness of each bulb decreases as more bulbs are added because the voltage is shared among all bulbs.


How does the brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit compare to the brightness of the bulb in a simple circuit?

The brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit is the same as the brightness of a bulb in a simple circuit. By Kirchoff's voltage law, each element of a parallel circuit has the same voltage drop across it. With the same voltage, the same type of bulb will dissipate the same power, and have the same brightness.


Why doesn't a light bulb change its brightness when more light bulbs are added on a parallel circuit?

In a parallel circuit, adding more light bulbs won't affect the brightness of the original bulb because each bulb has its own separate path for the current to flow. Each bulb receives the same voltage as the power source, ensuring that each bulb will shine at its designated brightness independently of the others.


What will happen to the resistance and the brightness if you add a light bulb to the circuit?

If a rheostat is connected in parallel with a light bulb, the setting of the rheostat should have no effect on the performance of the light bulb, as long as the power supply is able to maintain its output voltage and deliver the current demanded by their parallel combination.


If you have 3 light bulbs explain how you can determine they are connected in parallel circuits by unscrewing one bulb?

Unscrewing any light bulb in series will result in the others turning off. If they are in parallel, unscrewing one will have no effect. For example, say we have lights bulbs L1, L2, and L3, where L1 and L2 are in parallel and L3 is in series with L1 and L2. If L1 is unscrewed: L2 and L3 will stay lit. If L2 is unscrewed: L1 and L3 will stay lit. If L3 is unscrewed: L1 and L2 will turn off.


What would happen if one bulb burns out in a parallel circuit?

Nothing much will happen except the same bulb will not blow..


Does adding more wires affect the brightness of the bulb?

Adding more wires in parallel will not affect the brightness of the bulb. Each wire creates a separate pathway for current flow, so dividing the current among multiple wires will not change the total amount of current flowing through the bulb and therefore will not impact its brightness.


What do you notic about the brightness of the bulbs in the parallel circuit as you added more bulbs to it?

In a parallel circuit, as more bulbs are added, the overall brightness of the bulbs remains constant. This is because each bulb gets the full voltage of the circuit and operates independently of the other bulbs. The individual brightness of each bulb may decrease slightly due to the increased current draw, but the overall brightness of the circuit remains fairly consistent.


Does the number of batteries change the brightness of the bulb?

It will if the batteries are connected in series. If they are connected in parallel, the lamp will burn longer, but not brighter.
