You are building a string of lights using several bulbs how is the brightness of the lights related to whether you connect the bulbs in series or in parallel?

Overall brightness (not individual bulbs' brightness) will increase when we connect them in parallel & it will decrease when we connect them in series.


Three identical bulbs are connected in series labeled A B and C to a battery which bulb is the brightest?

If three identical bulbs are connected in parallel to a battery, all three bulbs would have equal brightness.Kirchoff's voltage law states that the signed sum of the voltage drops around a series circuit is zero. A consequence of this is that, in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each parallel element is the same.There are effectively 6 series circuits in this example - battery and A - battery and B - battery and C - A and B - A and C - and B and C. These six combinations are also parallel circuits, and they are also in parallel with each other.


Are lamps in house connected to series or parallel?

They can be connected to either supply. A bulb in series that fails, will cause all the other bulbs to go out. A bulb in parallel that fails, will have no adverse effect on the other bulbs in that circuit


What happens to the current flowing in the ring main as more bulbs are turned on at night?

As more light bulbs are added in a series circuit, the effective resistance of the circuit increases. That causes the current leaving the source to decrease.


What will happen to the current if you add more bulbs to the cirrect series?

current will decrease

How is the current affected by the number of bulbs?

As the number of bulbs in a series circuit increases, the current decreases. As the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increases, the current increases.


What happens when one or more light bulbs are added to the circuit?

A: If put in series current will decrease if put in parallel current will increase assuming the input voltage remains the same


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.


What happens to the current if the number of bulbs stays the same but you use more cells?

If you add more cells in series with the bulbs, the current will increase as the voltage across the bulbs increases. If you add more cells in parallel with the bulbs, the current will stay the same because the voltage of the cells does not increase when they are added in parallel.


What happens to the current in a circuit when one bulb is replaced by two bulbs in series?

current in series always stays the same


What happens to electrical current and voltage in a parallel circuit as you add more bulbs?

Voltage remains constant; current increases.


Does the same current pass through each bulb?

If the bulbs are connected in series, the same current passes through each bulb. However, if the bulbs are connected in parallel, the current will split between the bulbs with the lower resistance receiving more current.


What happens to the total current provided by the battery as more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit?

The total current provided by the battery increases as more bulbs are added to a parallel circuit. This is because each branch in a parallel circuit receives the full voltage of the battery, leading to more current flowing through each branch as more loads (bulbs) are added.


If you have two 5 watt bulbs connected in series and then in parallel which circuit arrangement will give you brighter bulbs explain your answer?

Brighter in parallel. In series the voltage is divided between the two bulbs, thus the current will only be half so that the power of each bulb will only be one quarter (of 5 watts) in the series set-up.


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

parallel


Which circuit has brighter bulb side by side?

Bulbs in a parallel circuit draw the same amount of current, so each will display the same brightness. Bulbs in a series circuit share the current so all bulbs will appear dimmer.


What happens to the brightness of the light bulbs in a series with a heater?

They dim as the total resistance of series of resistances is the sum of the resistances; and current = V/R.
